We may share certain values and behaviors, but until we all speak the same language, share the same history,
the same heroes and the same religion,
we will continue to be unique.

Gift faux pas
“An exchange of gifts has caused embarrassment for both Britain and Taiwan after Baroness Susan Kramer, the transport minister, presented the mayor of Taipei with a watch.
Giving a timepiece as a gift is a taboo in Chinese culture because it suggests that the recipient's time is running out. The phrase "giving a clock" in Chinese can also be read as bidding farewell to the deceased at a funeral.
The mayor commented the awkward exchange by saying he has "no use for it" and suggesting, "I can just re-gift it to someone else or take it to a scrap metal dealer and sell it for cash."
A spokesman for the city later attempted to gloss over the mayor's comments, insisting that he had just been joking.”

“Culture is more often a source of conflict than
of synergy.
Cultural differences are a nuisance at best
and often a disaster.
But if we really want to globalize,
there is no way around them
so we better take them
for what they are.”
(Geert Hofstede)
