3- Does not attribute miscommunication directly to socio-cultural differences.

 As we had previously shared our introductory videos, in our first meeting we were already familiar with most participants in the group: I already knew three of the five group members. Consequently, participants were less shy and more communicative. However, one Chinese participant was particularly timid. During all of our presentations, she did not say a great deal, but when she did say something, her observations were often thoughtful. Personally, I appreciated this because I believe that it is better to think carefully before speaking, rather than expressing the first thought that comes to one´s head. However, I don’t want to generalise because there are over one billion people living in China!
