If I were you, I would choose to go dutch. If it's an alumna, please don't offer anything to her. It might be offensive. If it's an alunmi, no need, either, because it's neither the eastern tradition nor the western tradition for a lady to offer a drink to a man. My thinking is if you don't offer anything, it at least won't be offensive. If you offer sth, it might be an offence. So, to be on the safe side, go dutch. Yes, you must look professional. Don't wear suit which looks cheap. Of course, skirt looks more professional than trousers. Well, depends on the wheather. It's winter now. More importantly, if it's an alumni, trousers are sufficient to serve. If it's an alunma, remember not to overdress to look too professional because you don't know how she will dress herself. Strong contrast in attire sometimes would make things awkward. Some of my thoughts. Hope it's helpful. |
