Visiting etiquette (knocking on doors, entering, and sitting)

  • When visiting other people's homes, one needs to pay attention to a few things. 
  • First, one is allowed to knock on the door 3 times. If after 3 times there is no response from inside the house, one should not repeat knocking on the door, let alone banging on the door to be heard by the host.
  • Secondly, one can enter the house if the host opens the door and invites entry. 
  • Thirdly, one can sit on a chair if the host invites one to sit. One is not allowed to enter the house and sit on a chair if the owner of the house does not let one in. If one enters or sits without being invited, one can be considered rude.
