Asian vs Western
There is a vast difference in terms of upbringing and the result between the west and the east. In cases where language tends too be perceived as a major seperation factor, my observations differ.
case study 1 : child sleeps in on a saturday morning
Asian : (knocks door loudly based on instinct) Oi, wake up already la. wanted to bring you out to do this and that, SEE NOW. half day gone still sleeping! bought food for you also the food smells already la. dont need to eat. sleep la. (pounds on door loudly again)
western : Is everything alright? are you sick? its time to wake up. Come on, head to thetoilet, wash up. tThere's food waiting for you. dont take too long ya =) (ends with a gentle tone, nice and sweet)

Rat Racing
So im in. Finally. Catching my breath. But its all fun. Working in a Scandinavian company is different. the culture, the company layout, the sense of belonging given. Its a steep learning curve. However, the jokes, the laughter, and the comfort of the huge mounted glass top table that can be level up and down to sitting or standing position covers the never ending learning. =)
