Introduction
Due to the final assignment from Interculture Comunication lecture ,an interview was carried out and after the datum were organized to evaluate some cultures aspects and compare then with the local country
It was used few tools that were learnt in the classroom with professor Frau Elkman such as, the ice berg theory , the analysis of individual or group thinking , low and high power distance , multi-task or one task oriented ,social or task oriented.
The interview was carried in English and in Germany language and it was very dynamic and it was possible to collect a lot of good information about its culture , building a parameter to compare with other cultures , such as , Germany and Brazilian.
The reason of china as a interviewed country is my deeply interest in china culture ,and its peculiar aspects which are most of the times vey different from occidental cultures and for this reason very interesting.
The analysis were made both in her perspective as well as the common Chinese perspective , In other words , typical problems that Chinese face when they go abroad specially to Germany and examples were given to show how aspects of everyday life influenciate the culture and the other way around.

However, while she was on her exchange , she got an internship in a Germany company ,and at that point decided to try to study in Germany.
As a result , she is currently studying logistics at the FachHochschule Wurzburg –Schweinfurt .

Sign of weakness

Each person has its own adapt problems, but we can defiantly find a pattern when we analyse from the country perspective because people tend to be very influenciaded by where they live , for example Germanys have similar problems when they decided to live in somewhere else , such as , unpunctually , difficult to have social interaction before work is done
Likewise, the Chinese basically share the same adaption problems. Each one of us when move to a new place , must face a lot of challenges , but those challenges can be smaller when we ask for information or help from someone who had been there already.
However , in the Chinese culture its seeing as a sign of weakness or like someone is not capable of doing something when questions
