Culture Shock: Season 1 - 6 Episode s
1x1 - Ho Chi Minh City
Nick Cheadle arrives at Ho Chi Minh City, the capital of motorbikes and the economic centre of Vietnam's rapidly growing economy. After wars and revolutions, motorbikes now rule the streets, small talk precedes business and millions of Vietnamese dong changes hands daily. Join Nick in this journey of discovery as he learns the subtleties of the Vietnamese way of life and practical business etiquettes in this episode of Culture Shock!
1x2 - Singapore
Nick Cheadle discovers the multiple acronyms, the Singaporean brand of English and the multi-facetted business etiquettes of Singapore's multi-cultural, multi-racial, multi-religious society. He even finds out about their unique love for the "king of fruits", the Durian!
1x3 - Hong Kong
Home of world's first billion US dollar edifice, this is a place where east meets west, and everyone is in the business of making money. Here, fusion food offers exciting new tastes, luxury cars roam the streets and hardworking people drive a capitalist economy with Asian values. Join Nick Cheadle as he rides the tide of this financial capital's endless activity.
1x4 - Tokyo
Tokyo is fun, fast-paced, modern, futuristic, surrealistic and traditional. It is also a key international financial centre and usually at the forefront of business, technology, and trends. Tokyo is a fascinating place to be, but the language barrier, complex social etiquettes and hard-driving work culture can be rather demanding on foreigners. Join Nick Cheadle as he works and plays hard alongside the Japanese in this amazing city!
1x5 - Bangkok
Bangkok with its heady mix of modernization and tradition all coming together in one chaotic discordance somehow seems to work quite well together. This capital city is a chaotic fusion of frustrating traffic jams, grand peaceful temples, unspoken cultural etiquettes and modern sky trains. Join Nick Cheadle as he tries to makes sense of Bangkok's unique cullture.
1x6 - Shanghai
Shanghai is the largest city of China and has been growing faster and higher than any other city in the world. This city is the birthplace of an economic revolution that led to modern China. Nick Cheadle looks at how to approach the important but complex social etiquettes of this fascinating city.
