Go Me!

I took the Cities Etiquette Quiz on 'The Economist' web site and scored 10/10, so I think we can conclude, that apart from a souçon too much modesty, I'm bloody perfect!

Be honest now peeps, how's your international business etiquette?

Be honest now Smiley: sly

To be honest, I've never been to any city outside the US and since there aren't even any US cities listed, I fail horribly. Smiley: jester

I have to confess that I had to take a guess at the Hong kong and Singapore ones but was lucky.

Eight. I missed the one about London pub behavior, which wouldn't affect me anyway; and the one about Hong Kong, which is not likely to come up as I wouldn't think of it.

Cities etiquette quiz

You scored 5 out of 10

What your score means
0-2 For the sake of international trade, destroy your passport.
3-5 This is why you never made it in the diplomatic service.
6-8 One can take you almost anywhere.
9-10 You are a cosmopolitan charmer.

Well, it appears that Kelvy, Nadenu and I could and would commit international faux pas of epic proportions, should we ever venture across the border together.
