ANGELICA

I have an exam in International Management in 2h, am I prepared? Maybe not as much as I should be. But I have actually learned a lot. I have learned that South America has one High-Income country, Suriname. Have you ever heard about that country? I have´nt. And also I saw something strange on the european map, there is a tiny country between Poland and Lithuania. I had to google it, and guess what? It belongs to Russia. I learn something new everyday, believe it or not. But it was´nt geography I wanted to talk about, it was communication problems when using english.

Examples for simple mistakes causing misunderstandings:

Germany: "Next week I shall become a new car." (get) - hahahaha typical german to believe that they are cars.

Japan: "My father is a doctor, my mother is a typewriter."  - being honest, I dont understand this one, can someone explain?

Sweden: "Are you hopeful of any change? No, I’m hopeless."  Haha Swedish people are hopeless as frogs without legs. But no I dont think this is a common mistake since hopeless is something totally different.

Finland: "How old is your son? Half past seven - talking about their kids like they are clocks?!

Well, this is what I have learned from the International Management. Fail or pass, thats the question..


Can you see the tiny little green thing north of Poland? That´s Russia! Sweden is really, really big actually. Oh yeah I forgot! Later I will tell you about my plans for the summer but now I need to read more about Hofsteede.

Wish me good luck fuckers!
