125 Partying with Foreigners

 Partying is fun.But have you ever been invited to a party by a foreigner? What should you wear? Should
you bring anything? If so,what? Don't worry. Today we are going to give you some tips about partying with
foreigners.
    First, you should ask if it is a formal or casual party. Then you will know what to wear. It's as simple
as that. At a casual party, it is customary to bring a bottle of wine or some other refreshment¹. It is not
considered polite to bring someone along with you unless you first ask your host. At more formal parties
like birthdays, a small gift will be sufficient. Giving money would cause some embarrassment². Finally, never
overstay your welcome. When it's getting late, it's time to thank your host for a wonderful evening and say
good night.
