Chinese negotiation skills

Many of you will be leaving for Canton Fair soon. I do hope you have done your best to prepare yourself well before heading there, for example, business card in Chinese, shopping checklist, product specification, artwork, etc. Bear in mind that it is not easy to negotiate the best price during any exhibition and the price quoted on trade fair is more expensive due to various reasons.

"Exotic" North Korea

I have been wanting to visit North Korea for a long time, due to many reasons, I decided to visit this amazing and "exotic" country on my own.

India – Hinduism vs. Islam Two religions in one country?

Anwar is 25 years old. He comes from Bangladesh. He arrived in Poland seventy days ago. When I ask him: Which side do you support in the Indian- Pakistani conflict?, he doesn`t seem to understand my question. “In my heart, Bangladesh, India and Pakistan are one country forever”- he said. Unfortunately, the present situation shows that his dream might never come true. The part of the Jammu and Kashmir state is closed for tourists. Trenches, a plenty of barbed wire, pictures like from the Second World War and the most murderous weapon- the atom bomb, which neither of the sides bault to use it. If it hadn`t been a war, in Kashmir would have been a “tourist boom”. But this chance won`t come soon.
