Encountering people from another culture can be difficult at the very least. From the beginning.For example, business in Turkey is not possible until there is a relationship of mutual trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary for people to spend a lot of time in “small talk,” usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. Haste equals rudeness. In many European countries, too----like the UK, France, or Spain—people find it easier to build up a working relationship in social settings.
