I think this is really interesting. I have trouble showing excitement for things a lot of the time in the moment, and am not really the type to greedily open gifts right away. Sometimes this can be taken as being unappreciative, but to me it just seems to be the correct response to be thankful and humble. I think my natural reaction to thanks would probably be better suited to the Chinese culture described than here in the US. Thanks for the share.
