hello,
ok in 2 weeks Im going to HK for one month to learn some more kung fu..
I will meet this chinese master for the first time so I thought its a good gesture to bring a little gift..the question now is what ? I was always bad in buying/finding presents..maybe some of you can give me some good advices..
Would be appreciated a lot..
cheers:D
A generous amount of cash in a red packet usually goes down well 
a bottle of brandy,box of candy, and oranges. as well as a lai-see are traditional gifts. Never give a watch or a clock.
Thanks for the reply…!!!
what is a lai see ?
thanks again for the heads up!
what is a lai see ?
A red packet stuffed with generous amounts of cash :rolleyes:
oh I see…thanks for that! 
Money talks.
It may also be wise for that cash value to be a lucky number in Chinese.
Money talks.
but in China, the amount says something different . Take the advice from the article that TenTigers posted. Make sure the money you give comes out to a lucky number. 8s are great for lai see.
okay thanks everybody!!! You helped me a lot…
Well the training is not for free so is it ok if I buy what u recommendet and put the trainings fee in a red envelope …?
So when Im there I will give the gift and when I give the red envelope seperatly I tell them this is the trainings fee so they wont think this is also a gift and not the trainings fee…
IT always about money
Yes put the taining fees in the lil red pocket but you should get him a St louis cardinals shirt
Purchase Him a decent portable CD player, and get him a few CD’s of Johnny Cash’s greatest Hits.
You will be amazed at the delight and glee on his face as he opens that gift:)
After that, you will no longer have to put forth any money for training as Johnny Cash Music is priceless and timeless and this Master will feel so fortunate:)
TWS:cool:
:rolleyes:
