Strange Behavior

Yesterday I was at a Cafe which also serves Western food, and saw some strange behavior from the Chinese people sitting next to me. They were a couple, and ordered two paninis and two pasta dishes for themselves. They didn't eat the paninis at all, and did not finish their pasta. What a waste of food, and what a waste of money. Weirdly enough, Chinese people treat western food the same as Chinese food: sharing is done between dishes. So, if two people order two dishes, they will be both be shared.
