In my project management tutorial at uni yesterday, the task was to get into groups and firstly write the tasks you think you would need to plan a party, then create a work breakdown structure and see if you missed any.
I got together with my group. Being the only non-asian in the entire subject my group was me and 4 asians, Chinese to be more precise.
Me: So first thing we do… buy beer, work out the rest later?
Chinese Student 1: Shouldn’t we first ask the government if we can have a party.
I paused to see if it was a joke, it wasn’t – he was deadly serious and argued the point that we should ask government.
Fuuuuuuck. Pretty sure the bbq chenanigans at north beach would be illegal in China then.
ECTE350?
Haha yeah, too many people in one place – potentially conspiring to overthrow the government. Well I know that’s usually what I do at BBQs at the beach.
Nah, ISIT446 or something of the sort.
