Not even sure what you're actually working with, but I'd love to have a Korean contact. Bare in mind that I'm relatively young(27years old), but I'm an entrepreneur working with big industrial projects, property management and various project. I'd love to hear about how that shit is in Korea, and more about Korean culture! Sounds great, well, I'll be finally in Stockholm by the end of next month and drop by, I'm with private equity guys, so we can wasted together, but I probably can't share anything new about Korea, plus, I'll be busy oggleling all the swedish ladies anyways keke | ||

Very interesting how the presentation went. Taking into account cultural differences at presentations is a basic concept, but it's very easy to have a tiny misconception with pretty large consequences. Personally i don't mind jokes in any direction, including my own, so i probably would've reacted differently to sexist jokes then your experiences in Sweden. From the blog, it almost seemed as if the males were ashamed of their taste regarding those jokes, which seems awkawar in the first place, but also a bit funny from my perspective. But what i'm really interested in: have you noticed any (negative) consequences of those jokes in the presentation? I don't really know the context, of course, but you might have gotten some impressions on businessrelated cases that somehow relate to the presentation. I'm very curious as to how things turned out. I'd say your read is pretty accurate, I think they weren't really ashamed, but rather, the social fear to look as though you are not for equality is pretty real as I can see. For business, nothing bad, at the heart of hardcore business is the competitive nature of it, the fact is the more hard core the business person is, male or female, the more naturally aggressive they are, not to say that you can't be hardcore without being feminine, if you're a chick, but these alpha chicks they know what the situation is, and they give as good much as they take. I think my experience with UK alpha corporate women are, at first they are pissed off at me, but for me, being Korean, its not a forced, thing, it is a natural cultural state, so Im not there saying women should be like this or that, rather, I'm just being me and at night when we are drinking, I'm making sure they are well taken care of from all the perverts and make sure they get to their hotel room fine and if other men act rudely to the ladies, I tell them to mind their fucking manners. So in the end, most of them at least respect that I'm not simply trying to put down women or get a rise out of them, but I'm Korean, my values to women are different but part of that is of course, in my way, feeling the need to protect them, even if they don't need it or don't want it or think it's insulting, it's my natural inclination. | ||

Was awesome, can't wait to get back there, but I think I won't say how awesome it is to my Zurich friends anymore, I don't want them to feel like I'm betraying them keke. | ||

If you are interested in visiting the university (I work there, some researching, some teaching) or the biggest school of austria (work there too, mostly teaching and trying to be as annoying as possible to the kids :D .... no just kidding, the kids love me, the collegues hate me for that ), maybe I can find some time to squeeze you in and show you around.On March 24 2014 03:18 HaRuHi wrote: and find hungarian beggars with no shoes in the winter between them. And people with fancy coats and diamonds around their neck just walk by while the poor die and nobody gives a shit. Dunno, was really disturbing to see the difference between the rich and poor so blantly. don't be fooled: these are 95% tricks used on tourists and ppl who don't know better. There are some beggar in Vienna, but most of them belong to an organisation, especially the non austrian ones. I wouldn't believe it at first, but before I jumped into conclusions I asked them some questions in a friendly way before I gave them money the next time and none of their answers were conclusive. Sometimes you see different beggars with the same (not the same message but the same(!)) plate with a message on it. Sometimes holding a child, sometimes singing badly, sometimes selling you something. Sometimes reading your future (and they are WRONG )Sometimes they sell a newspapermagazine called "Augustin", when they see you throw it away they get it from the waste and sell it again. As a person being handicapped since I had an accident I like those the most who claim to be injured but don't walk like their injury would make them walk. I have watched shit like that hundreds of times already, some other things I have watched: especially in the richer district the density of the beggars is tighter, and every couple of hours you see the same man going from beggar to beggar, collecting money. When the beggars "shift" is over, he often walks away like he never was injured at all and obviously happy and healthy. Also there is this one guy, I know him for years, always has the same phrase "hast du ein bisschen kleingeld für mich?" (can you spare some coins?). He is between the railway U2 and the university of vienna (main entrance). When he has collected enough money you see him phoning with his always latest iPhone (yeah, he prefers apple  )I watch this stuff since I moved here, I watch every beggar before I give them food or buy them a hot drink. In my opinion the only real beggars are actually austrian citizens, I haven't had ONE encounter with a non-austrian beggar that didn't make me suspicious about the truth of their motives... This all comes from some eastern (rumanian, bulgarian) or southern (italian) mafia, so you should only support those who look like "legit beggars" to you. I thought "slumdog millionaire" was a good movie with that as a sidetopic. Also a good read about beggars | ||
