How usual is it to visit people at home in your country?

I'd say visiting people at home is still quite common in China, especially among close friends and family. The main reason is that sharing a meal together at home feels more personal and intimate than meeting outside. For example, in Shanghai where I live now, my colleagues and I often visit each other's apartments for hotpot dinners - it's much cozier than restaurants and we can chat more freely. That said, with everyone being so busy these days, casual drop-by visits without planning have become less frequent compared to when I was younger. People tend to schedule home visits in advance now.
