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.
