HONG KONG-Nine out of ten Singapore citizens returned dropped wallets with money in them, but in Hong Kong only three out of 10 wallets were returned in an honesty test carried out in Asian cities by Readers Digest(讀者文摘)．

Larger cities did worse while in general people in smaller places returned secretly planted wallets, results from the experiment showed.

Readers Digest secretly scattered 140 wallets all over Asia, each with a name, address and phone number, family pictures, notes and money in it.

The magazine workers then watched to see what happened.

South Koreans in Seoul returned six out of the ten dropped wallets, while those in Inchon returned eight. 50 percent of the dropped wallets were returned in Bombay, Bangkok, Taipei and Kajang in Malaysia, with most people saying they would not keep what was not rightfully theirs.

There are many TV programs on Chinese food, but few are like China at Your Tongue Tips. The latest seven-part documentary offers opinions into the geographical, historical and cultural parts of what Chinese eat.

Made by Chen Xiaoqing, an award-winning documentary maker, China at Your Tongue Tips is filled with different kinds of food, which tells us the beautiful process of food-making. The program is sure to attract both food experts and ordinary audiences.

Television is filled with food programs these days, especially introductions of top cooks and close looks at the wonderful cooking processes of a feast (盛宴), but how to create dishes is only one part of food culture, according to Chen.

“The program tries to bring something new by presenting more cultural parts about dishes, like eating habits of eating.”

The surprise is that the show is not only about dishes. Every part paid attention to different people who tell stories about their adventure with food.

"As a saying, goes, 'you are what you eat','" Chen says. "Food is always connected with people. Behind the documentary, they are stories that show people's living situations and attitudes(態(tài)度). That's another part which makes it special."

To get enough good stories, the production team spent three months doing researches and interviews in about 60 cities before they started shooting in last July. Filming lasted about nine months.

China at Your Tongue Tips shows social changes while presenting food culture, such as showing the elderly are in their hometowns while other members of this family work outside. In those cases, food serves as reminders of happy times.
