¿Cómo ser preparado para la experiencia llamó China? Pamela Lau hizo una investigación científica interesante sobre el entrenamiento de la pre-salida para los expats que planeaban ir a China.

El gweilo consiguió tan en un vuelo de China del aire.
Se parece que era la única persona no-China en el plano.
El choque de la cultura comenzó allí. El aire China del vuelo no es como el vuelo Air Canada.
