This reminds me: When I eat out with Thai male friends and foster brothers, they would wipe my plate and glass with napkin before we start eating. And while the meal is in progress, they'd keep on putting food in my plate without asking me if I want it or not. Is that because I am their guest? Or is that what's expected of gentlemen to do with ladies (as a sign of good manners)? I am wondering, too, if being close to them, I am supposed to put food in their plates also as a sign of good manners.
