Eat beat

A feast of stones

Rockid Hu was very nervous the first time he welcomed strangers to eat and chat in his home, but now he has organized more than ten dinners, he has noticed that there are many ways to break the ice.

How do you do?

Conversation quickly warms up with each person giving a brief introduction including their name, age, occupation, likes and dislikes. This lets everyone get to know one another quickly.

Star sign language

Talking about horoscopes is Hu's top choice for breaking the ice among a group of strangers. Almost everyone is willing to share his or her star sign with others and discuss how the different horoscope signs represent various personalities, and the compatibility with other signs in relationships and problems.

Places I have been …

Few people dislike travel and most of Hu's guests are in their 20s or 30s, and enjoy sharing their travel stories and experiences with others.

Dealing with relationships

Talking about how to deal with relationships quickly brings people closer. The conversation often ends up with suggestions on how to work out problems and arguments with partners and friends.
