After suffering through a long hot day with the sun beating down our backs, a bottle of cold water sounds like the perfect solution. Reaching for that can of icy soda from the fridge or ordering a frosty beer from a bar also sound like good plans. In Western countries, we often take our beverages cold – and not just on hot days, but when dining out to dinner, with popcorn at theatres, or sometimes just as a treat by itself. However, consuming cold drinks may not be the norm internationally. While we often receive a glass of cold water alongside our meals at a restaurant, in China you would get a cup of steaming hot tea instead. In fact, even when the weather is sweltering hot, many Chinese people will still carry around thermoses filled with hot water. If you order a soft drink at a restaurant, they will often ask you: “冰的还是常温的 (bīng de hái shì cháng wēn de)?” or “Do you want it iced (冰的) or room temperature (常温的)?” Drinking a soda at room temperature is almost unheard of in western cultures (unless one’s fridge is broken!)

Waitresses and waiters are expected to fill up your water if they see it running low, and this may be why we tend to see cold water served at restaurants. If accidental spillage does happen, cold water won’t hurt the customer, whereas hot water may sent someone to the ER. In China, your tea comes in a pot and you pour it into cups yourself; if you spill the water you’re accountable for it.
