However, there are many places in the world that are still heavily, and often almost solely, made up of a single culture.

Two of the least culturally diverse countries in the world are North Korea and South Korea.…[Read more]

Obviously, one big hurdle that might need to be cleared up for many of us are the export issues, which I have not seen much about (as of now, Cuba still appears to be one of the “five bad…[Read more]

The main reason for going outside of China appears to be, interestingly enough, cultural enrichment. This is not just to master a…[Read more]

It’s a wonderful place, with great people and a huge economy that is impossible to ignore and tempting to partner with. But how long can that economy be sustained? Too often, China is viewed as an endlessly growing behemoth.
