First Sunshine

Last weekend few of my colleagues went to Vegas. We all are under such work pressure that we need time out just as we need oxygen. Most of the times our weekend is spent in preparing project reports and planning the next move of the company. In such a  scenario we don’t miss even the slightest possibility of chilling out. When my colleagues returned from their trip, we all could see the freshness and radiance on their faces, so I along with three of my friends have decided that we will also spend our coming weekend in vegas. I think it is the best place on Earth for relaxing; I had a gala time when I went there last time. The only thing that should be kept in mind before going there is to make sure you that have a reservation at the hotel and tickets of the ongoing events in advance. Since there is always so much rush, so it is better to get the reservation beforehand. I got 50% discount on hotel reservation. Actually the site which I had consulted has a list of all the good hotels in Vegas and it gives discount to those who book their tickets through this site.

Today is the happiest day of my life as I have found the man of my dreams. Well, the two of us had met a year back and were in touch since then. We had good friendship between us. Both of us had a special liking for each other but none of us showed our feelings to each other. He finally proposed me today. We are on a tour at San Diego. In the morning he called me up to invite me for dinner at Trattoria Acqua, it is the most romantic place in the city. I think that he must have planned all the details in advance as everything was perfect; just the way I had always dreamt it to be. He knows very well how much I love Italian food and this place is famous for its Italian cuisine. What makes this place special is that it is situated on a hill top and it presents an excellent view of the pacific waters. As soon as we reached there I was enthralled by the ambiance; his words came as a beautiful surprise. I will not reveal what all we spoke as I want to keep it to myself. I will remember each and every moment that we spent there for the rest of my life. We have decided that whenever we will visit this city we will dine only at this restaurant. This San Diego italian cuisinewill be a reminder of all the promises and commitments we have made with each other.

With the advent of globalization and the expansion of companies in different foreign countries, executives have to move from their home country to some other host country. This mobility gives rise to cultural clashes .It is very necessary to impart cultural training to expatriates before they go to some other country. It seeks to foster an appreciation for the host countries culture. It enhances the manager’s effectiveness in dealing with host countries workers. It is important for a manager to receive training in the host countries culture, history, politics, and economy, and religion, social and business practices. It is also a good idea to arrange for a trip to host country for familiarization, before actual joining, so as to ease the cultural shock.

The training module consists of four modules -

Language Training:-it is a must for any one looking to work in a foreign country. English is the language of business and is spoken throughout the world. If someone is going to a non English speaking country like China it is good to know the local language. It is very important to know the language of the local country to build a good rapport with the host country employees. It also helps in day to day activities.
Business Presentation Techniques: - it is extremely important to know what the business presentation technique in the host country is. For example German likes to be presented with as much data as possible whereas philosophies work with French.
Business Protocol In Foreign Country: - it also necessary to know the business protocol of different countries like Japanese never say no even if they want to, but Americans are very straightforward. Knowing the protocol helps in managing the business well.
Social Etiquette:-there are different social etiquette in different countries. Knowing them helps in winning the confidence and acceptance of the host country national’s foe example, an Arab expects a favour to be returned likewise intermediaries are essential in China
It is also important to impart cultural training to the expatriate’s family. Every one works for the betterment ones family, if the family is not able to cope up with the cultural gap then the expatriate will want to go back to his home country. So, They should be made familiar with the necessary things of day to day life like it is considered bad to gift handkerchiefs in Europe ,don’t wear yellow in American countries, use of chopsticks for eating rice and noodles  in China.

We can nurture the delightful incidents of our life in the form of photographs. I have a habit of taking photos whenever we go for a family outing and on every special event. Recently, I have found a more interesting way of making the whole picture viewing experience look incredible. It is by using digital picture frame. These frames are very easy to use; all that needs to be done is transfer the photos in the memory card of the frame. We can upload thousands of snaps in this and then just sit back and see which ever slide show we want by using remote which comes along with the frame. So, now there is no need to save the pictures in PC or take print out of all of them and keep several albums to gloss through the snaps. By using digital frame we can keep all our pictures at one place and have a unique viewing experience.
