China

The way of greeting a person in China changes as the day proceeds. In the early morning until 8 am you would say Zaoshang hao! (good early morning). From 8 am until noon, you would say, Shangwu hao! (good morning). From noon till 6 pm you would say Xiawu hao! Until late night you would say Wanshang hao! To wish someone goodnight, say Wan an!

More coloquially, you can just say Ni hao! (hello) or Zai jian! (see you again).

Spain

Most Spanish and Latin American people have four meals during the day: el desayuno, which is usually light, consisting of coffee and perhaps toast and butter with jam; la comida or el almuerzo (lunch) is the main meal and in Spain it is taken between 2 pm and 3 pm or even later!; la merienda (mid-afternoon snack) may consist of bocadillos (sandwiches) or pasteles (pastries) and a hot or cold drink; la cena (evening meal) is between 8:30 pm and 10 pm and it is lighter than lunch.

Italy

To make a telephone call in Italy, you generally go to a bar or cafe. There will often be a yellow disc outside to show that there is a public telephone. to operate it you will have to use gettoni (tokens) which you can buy at the cassa (cash-desk) or at a newspaper kiosk. In certain cases, especially at the airport and stations, money can be used. It is also possible to make calls from post-offices but these are not plentiful.

STD is teleselezione and the dialing code is called prefisso.
