Entire last working week, been in a real cross culture room of executives, assembled in Beijing. Americans, Indians, Chinese, Singapore, Australians, Malaysian.
Easily 2-3 meta cultures in that room. The schedules were crazy too. Everyone need to get to the room at 7:45AM and can only get out at 6:00PM. No real breaks in the middle, no laptops, no iPhones to fiddle with. Just focus on what you doing.
And if you could not have your breakfast in the morning, then you ll have to wait till lunch.
Here, one of the local executives from Beijing, used to get nicely packaged breakfast and coffee, by his admin, a petite and pretty young woman - who would time to time sneak in to the room, tip-toe through the desks and hand over the stuff to her boss !
And you got to look at Amerians and Australians that time. What ? Your office admin does that ?
