Subject: Difference between Westerners and Asians
Difference between Westerners and Asians - This is very interesting, just read on. To group all races of Asians as one is to over generalize.
Asian races are more diverse than Caucasians,
i.e. Indians differ from Chinese in most respects.
(1) Opinion- Westerners: Talk to the point. Asians: Talk around the circle, especially if opinions are different
(2) Way of Life- Westerners: individualism, think of himself or herself. Asians: enjoy gathering with family and friends, solving their problems, and knowing each other's business.
(3) Punctuality- Westerners: on time. Asians: in time.
(4) Contacts- Westerners: Contact to related person only. Asians: Contact everyone everywhere, business very successful.
(5) Anger- Westerners: Show that I am angry. Asians: I am angry, but still smiling... (Beware!)
(6) Queue when Waiting- Westerners: Queuing in an orderly manner. Asians: Queuing? What's that?
(7) Sundays on the Road- Westerners: Enjoy weekend relaxing peacefully. Asians: Enjoy weekend in crowded places, like going to the mall.
(8) Party- Westerners: Only gather with their own group. Asians: All focus on the one activity that is hosted by the CEO.
(9) In the restaurant- Westerners: Talk softly and gently in the restaurant. Asians: Talk and laugh loudly like they own the restaurant.
(10) Travelling- Westerners: Love sightseeing and enjoying the scenery. Asians: Taking pictures is the most important; scenery is just for the background.
(11) Handling of Problems- Westerners: Take any steps to solve the problems. Asians: Try to avoid conflicts, and if can, don't leave any trail.
(12) Three meals a day- Westerners: Good meal for once a day is sufficient. Asians: At least 3 good meals a day.
(13) Transportation- Westerners: Before drove cars, now cycling for environmental protection. Asians: Before no money and rode a bike, now got money and drive a car
(14) Elderly in day-to-day life- Westerners: When old, there is Snoopy(Dog) for companionship. Asians: When old, guarantee will not be lonely, as long as willing to babysit grandkids.
(15) Moods and Weather- Westerners: The logic is: rain is pain. Asians: More rain, more prosperity
(16) The Boss- Westerners: The boss is part of the team. Asians: The boss is a fierce god.(Like Mika... haha no offence)
(17) What's Trendy- Westerners: Eat healthy Asian cuisine. Asians: Eat expensive Western cuisine.
(18) The Child- Westerners: The kid is going to be independent and make his/her own living. Asians: Slog whole life for the kids, the centre of your life.
