Aboslutely great! I used it to sensitize my International Business students and worked perfectly.

Chinese have to stop being so exaggeratedly nice. You ask somebody for the way - they tell you the wrong direction, even if they don't know it, just to avoid the "face loss".

They never tell you when you say something wrong in Chinese - how the hell can I learn to speak propper chinese, when everyone around tells me my Chinese is féichang hâo???

You can't say to a worker how he has to improve his way of working, or else he won't ever talk to you again. My experiences ;)

it must be your mis-understanding in chinese,because asking for the way is so common in china,and unknown will never be a "face loss" thing.For foreigners féichang hâo means good but not good enough. if your chinese is excellent you must be praised in heart.
