International family

International family? A lot of people come from different countries? No! Here I don't want to talk about that one. Serisouly, I am really interested in a international couple, each of them belong to different nationality, for example, Finland and China or such. International couple do not mean only two people living together, more interesting part is two family meet together. It's like deal with international issues, negotiation some country stuff. During the international meeting, there is a translator and two country's leader, certainly, other member belong to each group. I have been played translator sometimes, that was not a easy job.

Lauguage barries is rather big issue. It will interrupt people want to express the whole thing. It will have negative impact for communication, since people will misunderstanding or don't have topics. Who discuss daily issues in their own table in their own kitchen need a translator?

Culture difference is another one. If we donnot know what other people talk about, we have translator, but if we donnot understand what other people doing, what can we tranlate? Open-mind play a key role, sometimes, we do not need a translator, we have body lauguage, yes or not, like or not like, through shake head or nod head. If you are happy you can smile, not happy you looks sad. But still, international family not like you deal with your international clients in your company. We have to face different food, different living style, various gift to express your feeling, as such.  Especially, Chinese people have a lot of manner, for other country's people, that is increidable. That is something like your dream, for you is something, for others is nothing. Nobody understand each other, life suddenly become difficult.

Two people living together is easy, but two families stay together is difficult. The difficult part is nothing to talk. If cannot communicate with each other, how can become true friends?
