有一天,我去农村看一个中国朋友。我第一次见到她的爸爸,妈妈和哥哥,他们都很热情。喝茶的时候,她哥哥问我:”您今年多大了?“我是个女的,当时一听,脸就红了,真不知道回答什么。他一看我脸红了,就不问了。过了一会儿,她爸爸又问我:”姑娘,每个月你有多少钱?“,这时候,我真想回家了,心想,这家人怎么这样不懂礼貌,我真是认错人了。后来我才知道,这是中国人跟新认识的人聊天的习惯,喜欢问一些西方人不愿意告诉别人的私事,特别是农村人。西方人跟中国人打交道的时候,为了避免误会,需要互相了解,互相交流。

I am guessing that this is Mandarin Chinese, am I right? It's currently filed under English.
