			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Try out this <a href="http://www.alllooksame.com">quiz</a> (pretty nice website, philosophy btw&#8230; I like). For those who are ready to get wrong from a cultural recognition point of view, please go for it (quiz link is in the top right of this &#8220;alllooksame.com&#8221; blog) !</p>
<p>Frankly speaking if you manage to get an above-average score&#8230; congratulations !<br />
Previously, when I was expat in this fantastic world, I was able to differentiate Asian nationals (even between a Korean and a Japanese - without of course looking at the scripts of their travel books or listening at them, just through the attitude) and believe me this is pretty tough.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/hiromy/261868360/" rel="no follow"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/83/261868360_190cd10db3_m.jpg" alt="chopsticks"  rel="no follow" /></a></p>
<p>For the face section, I underperformed (sighh, did I forget everything or maybe wait, there is some moral&#8230;), but for the art one, I got the &#8220;you are pretty talented (yes, I still managed to grasp a &#8220;cultural specificity something&#8221;:-)&#8230;</p>
<p>Whatever, spend some time in the alllooksame.com &#8220;philosophy&#8221; section as well, the point of view worth the reading. </p>
<p>By the way, where do we use chopsticks ?<br />
in Japan, Korea or China (that&#8217;s easy) ?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>from Borodur (Yogyakarta - Indonesia), Emin minaret (Turpan - China), City walls and Bell Tower (Xian - China), Wat Dhoi Suthep (Chiang Mai - Thailand), Imperial City (Hue - Viet Nam) to Psar Thmei (Pnomh Penh - Cambodia)&#8230; the ones who think Asia as just a standardized &#8220;Chinatown&#8221; continent, without any diversity (a bit like the Asian restaurants in Europe / America, where all serve a standardized mix of Chinese / Vietnamese and Thai food) should definitely spend some time on this <a href="http://www.orientalarchitecture.com/gateway.htm" rel="no follow">Asian map</a> ; a snapshot of historical architectures where you would realize that comparing a Mongol yurt to a Malaysian one is like comparing a Finish sauna to a Spaniard one&#8230; </p>
<p>Would you be able to recognize the architecture style down here ? Any idea about where these buildings are located (as their purposes) ?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes, I am currently in the mood for <a href="http://blog.localingo.com/category/english/quiz/">quizzes</a> (let&#8217;s see how far this will go :-)). </p>
<p>The following <a href="http://www.learnaboutcultures.com/qulture_quiz/index.html#" rel="no follow">one</a> is a bit more business oriented, pretty global - you can chose from a list of countries and regions : South Africa, West Africa, Arab countries, China, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Turkey, Australia, Britain, Belgium, France, Greece, Italy, Luxemburg, Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Scandinavia, Spain, Switzerland, United States, Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica.</p>
<p>I went through the Belgian questions ; pretty relevant, even if it always depends on the type of people you&#8217;ll meet - generalization is always a mistake&#8230; even within the cross-cultural theory. Being natural and yourself always pays off (more my strategy to be honest).<br />
Concerning the question about the wrapped flowers, I am not so sure&#8230;</p>
<p>Concerning the French one, I am not sure about the automatic wine refill (you just state before it gets poured &#8220;this glas will be my last one&#8221;), and the &#8220;not-so-friendly business&#8221; atmosphere (it depends)&#8230;</p>
<p>Make up your own opinion&#8230; Being too much &#8220;cross-cultural aware&#8221; can sometimes lead to unexpected situations (e.g. getting screwed), but that&#8217;s my own opinion&#8230;</p>
