主题：过五逢十，从纪念到怀念 -- 潘涌

This comes from the difference between two cultures. The first factor makes the difference is the expense for somebody hanging around in a bar. In States, the cost in bar is affordable to normal poor people. One night in a bar might take a guy 30-50 bucks. However, in China, the expense in bar might not be acceptable to most of the normal people, which might cost them a month salary or more. Another factor is tradition. Chinese people don't like drinking very much, which used to be considered as top five worst hobbies. Many oversea Chinese students would consider holding a bottle of beer and talking to other people is so weird, while in States a party without wine could be a weird party. For those who love drinking, in most of the cases, the very popular entertainment during drinking is to do a competition who is the best drinker accompanying shouting and big laughing, which, in my view, totally ruins the best part of drinking-chatting, and enjoying music. On the other hand, mainland Chinese don't like party drinking communication very much. Having a cup of wine, or a couple of bottle of beer without any food might be unconfortable to them. As a result, it is hardly to see any family party in which wine is specifically served in China.
