I worked as a catering manager at racetracks. It was my social life as well as my work.

I realize that you don’t have to worry about food or accommodations because they’re all provided for.

The figures equate to every Chinese spending 915 yuan on dining out this year, compared with 790 yuan last year.

One evening, after finishing at the catering company where I worked, I met a girlfriend in a pub in Aalbaek, a tiny fishing village in the north of Denmark, a few miles from where I live.

Ask a teacher or someone in food service for advice on how to get started.
