You live in a windmill and wear wooden shoes. . . I believe we need to get all the stereotypes out on the table. I once told my international students I was of Italian descent and a mature Chinese student said, "Oh, so you belong to the Mafia!" I immediately began to roar with laughter and judging by the embarrassed look on his face, I think he was serious! This became a teachable moment about stereotypes: "All [blank: plural noun] are [blank: adjective]". I surprised myself with my ability to find humor in this situation. Humor can alleviate tension in intercultural exchanges.

I got hooked once you stated 'If you're not Dutch you're not much'! This was amazing to hear while at work! :)

Our intentionally planned Humor doesn't really work in most cultures. Our humor means irony. Irony demolishes social hierachy and is therefore seen as scary by most cultures who are absolute on respecting order.
It's a very Anglo American Dutch Danish thing to do to use such humor in daily life to turn the table as a nation of traders to get his way while doing a business.
Instead we usually perceive others as having humor which never was intended to in their minds
For example, Japanese crazy surreal entertainment and trying to escape from reality is often seen as the ironic thing in our philosophy and therefore perceived by us as Japanese WTF Humor. Which never was intended to in their mind to be seen as humor. It looks rebellious what the Japanese did so American or British people thought this fits in their own perspectives as absurd or countering.

Chris, I recognise many of your observations and comments as my own. Don't you think I deserve an acknowledgement along with my old friend Geert Hofstede?

I don't know which course is right for me, International Business? Management and Marketing? I am just indecisive now.

I find being humorous more difficult then understanding cultural difference.

I believe we need to get all the stereotypes out on the table, Like the presentation

Better Understand the vast implications of cultural differences is one of the things humanity still needs to do. International relations (politics) will get better from it. Overall, less misunderstandings, less fears of others, and the world will be be a better place. Thanks to people like you, we'll get there !
