[FOREIGN] Well, it was back in 2003, I was studying at a program. And we were having this New Year's break, my wife and I, we decided that we wanted to make a tour to Tunisia, Tunis. And we stayed in a five star hotel because you booked in advance it was kind of cheap, it's a good bargain. And they have this big event, a big celebration for the new year. And so they got this interactive activity. They ask guests from different countries to come to the front and do a game, okay? And I was selected, and then the game goes like this. Stage one, everyone sing a song. Or it's just a one sentence, one or two would be enough. Or something that you like very much that's unique of your culture, whatever. And then well, I know something that's from China and then I sang to them. [FOREIGN] And they like it. Okay, the Chinese opera, the Peking opera. And then they, well, you will see they have their own songs singing these songs. And then we come to stage two. They stick several pieces of ice into your mouth and then they ask you to sing again. Okay, so it's kind of funny. And then, stage three. That, well. [COUGH] All the attendants you need to go to the audience and collect shoes. Collect shoes, okay? The more shoes you have and then you win it, and then, well, you run to people and collect their shoes. Well certainly you need to ask their agreement if they like to support you or not, okay. And I found out that well, it's kind of hard to take off their other shoes and don't like it very much. And then [COUGH] And here came the last stage that would be go out to your audience again and try to kiss as many as possible people. Okay, so kiss and hug and kiss. Wow this is really big challenge for me actually, that I found out the Italian guy, the Brazilian guy, and people from Latin. This is quite Euro for them, and it's also very common for French, right. The French they do this [FOREIGN] a lot. You mentioned the fact [FOREIGN]. And you hug a person and then you do this. [NOISE] And then. [NOISE] And then. [NOISE] And then. [NOISE] Okay. [FOREIGN] Well, I got a big headache, and I went around, and then finally I found someone I can kiss. My wife. >> [LAUGH] >> And I hug her, I kiss her. And I went back. And the anchorman yelled at me. You still got time! Quick! You still got time! Okay, I just sit there and remain silent. And then it was coming to the final and he was counting, well this guy kissed like 16, that one 24, and then he came to me. One, okay. So. [COUGH] Here comes the mac. Why you only kissed one? And I responded with one sentence. And this was, I only kiss the one I love. And then, everyone applauded. That's what really happened. And then a while later on they decide who is the winner, and every time he comes to me and people are making [SOUND] greater noises. Actually I won that game. By what? By being who I am. Yes, and we tasted the reward was two cup of soft drink, and I drank it, and the best gift for that new year, you see. So I really wanted to give you the same kind of gift to every one of you. Before we go deeper into different cultures, how we can communicate better with them, there's something that is good and that is noble inside of your own culture inside your own value, you need to keep it. Okay.
