#104 Afandi Quiz: Cultural Misunderstanding
Today’s quiz is about a cultural misunderstanding in the following situation:
▶️ Hannes and Merten are two young entrepreneurs from 🇳🇴Norway. They have come all the way to 🇸🇦Saudi Arabia where they want to sell advanced equipment to a Saudi oil production company. In their email exchange the Arabs seemed like very keen (=excited, interested) buyers but the negotiations (=talking about the price) drag on (=continue for too long) and the Norwegians fail to strike a deal (=agree to buy or sell sth) within the three days of their stay.

#8 Travel Notes: Love yourself
▶️ Flags are magical things. They are powerful symbols that express the essence (=innermost quality or character) of a nation. However, it’s not that easy if your feelings towards your nation are so incredibly overwhelming (=making you feel so strongly that you cannot think clearly) that one simple flag is not enough. So what can you do if you know you live in the world’s best country, i.e. 🇹🇷Turkey? You can a) put up lots of small flags, b) go for (=choose) one huge flag, or c) let Atatürk help you out once more.
