It's a region-level culture I'm talking about. In this case, I was thinking of Eastern Europe culture.

You're in for a MASSIVE culture shock, if you ever get employed there. For this, and many other reasons. The cultural expectations in business are often the far opposite of that of the US.

Don't forget that individuals and group culture are two distinct things, but both are very real things. Let's be clear about which one of those we're talking about.

I'm a high school teacher in a public school in Austin, TX. I plan to teach at that school until I retire and write and sell books along the way.

If I ever find myself employed in Eastern Europe then something dramatic will have happened.

The difference in culture is interesting, though, since I don't have to live/work there!
