I came across one thing few days ago and i always want to speak out, but still no enough time. Now, I can show it up. I am a new member here and alway keep following my boss. so I am a few words in the meeting. One day, a new client coming from USA and I pick up him, we cooperated a short time. My boss always instead of me to discussed with them. We have a meeting this afternoon as normal. 2 hours later, they made a decision that took a look to testing in lab. They are going to leave, Abruptly, he turn to ask me if you would come with us? I watched my boss and my boss shows he wouldn't, then I said yes, he have loudly laughing. and walk out the meeting room. I followed and he said, do you have brain? Suddenly, I feel a big strike and shamed on that word. I replied yes with cool face. Then both of silence. I don't know why foreigners unfriendly. We are pure and warm-hearted. Or maybe i am not lucky to have met a bad one. P.S: I am the youngest and smallest one in my team.

Hi Beryl. I'm sorry to hear about what happened at your work. I too sometimes gets embarrassed because I'm quiet and shy. My workmates and friends sometimes tease me about it but I know they just want to make me laugh. And about the foreign visitor, well, not all foreigners are like that. There are just really those people who looks down at other people - not just the Caucasians, sometimes if you think about it, we Asians are also kind of racist in some way. Maybe your visitor didn't mean to insult you, maybe he really just meant it as a joke. There are just really times that because of culture differences, their jokes might not be funny to us and vice versa. But if he said it exactly the way you written it down on your story, then I would also feel insulted. He was rude when he said that. I hope your experience with him will not hinder you from working well at your office. Just do you job well, you know better than that guy. :)
