ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT: don’t judge other culture’s rituals and traditions until you fully understand their meaning. I used to complain about certain Chinese dinner and drinking traditions when I would travel to China on business. Recently , I took the time to dig a little deeper to understand the meaning and history of those traditions and I now know that are not based on some loose history but are mostly based on honoring coworkers and business associates and expressing a high level of respect. Some examples- the round table- allows no “head”, everyone is the same. lowering your glass during toast- shows respect for the other. Walking around the table toasting – taking the time to show respect and appreciation. Serving food to visitors- respect. I will not complain about these traditions anymore. I encourage you to take the time to understand the meaning of unique traditions from other cultures when you have the opportunity.
