In her real estate Interview at Real Estate CyberSpace Radio she provides the following real estate advice: International Business Practices - In Singapore, laws on bribery and corruption are very strict, so sending a small gift or even an invitation to an event may be interpreted wrongly.
- The web site Transparancy.org tracks corruption all around the world; data are updated yearly on which countries are most and least corrupt.
- The spectrum of networking is very different in different countries; in Latin America-Chile, Columbia, Costa Rica-business is conducted through entertainment and connections; gifts there are common-as they are in Japan; in Latin America, you should never decline an invitation.
- The language conventions of Asians are very different from the West's; they never interrupt; a long pause after one party finishes speaking may wrongly be interpreted as a negative response instead of the intended sign of respect and thoughtful consideration of what was said.
