  • It all depends on your audience, we can’t say how they tick, and neitheir can you. Sometimes it clicks, sometimes it don’t. Attire depends on the folks selling, and the hood. Remember it’s not a wedding. If you’re sure what you’re doing don’t ask too much about the house (might imply you’re searching for issues to lower the price), ask about probably outstanding features (bidet or whatever). If they seem the DIY type, ask if they did #feature themselves, praise workmanship but don’t imply that it looks really shitty DYI. And relax.








  • People here, at least for the last 50+ years, used to have a quite comfortable, safe lifestyle, with various state institutions taking care of shit. If anything (and may it only be a small thing) is taken away from them, or goes wrong, or cannot be sustained anymore, they start to complain that everything is breaking down.

    In short: Entitlement and a tendency to nag and take everything for granted, plus inflexibility and unwillingness to change/think out of the box.

    Personal humble opinion of a German.



  • I wouldn’t totally subscribe to that, having worked with Chinese allowed to travel. There’s acceptance to the rules active incountry, but very much subversive energy and sarcasm/cynicism abroad, and willingness to break the rules. If one manages to get them to open up a bit. I’ve worked with tech folks only, though.
