I suspect that this will be an on going article while I remember and document some of these idiosyncrasies and comment them to paper (or bits in this case)
1.) Shareholders meetings = getting shit face drunk and hope you don't sign any dodgie contracts in your inebriated state
2.) At braais/dinner parties the children will always been fed first so that they can run around like The Tazmania Devil in wrecking the place so that the adults can have peace and quiet in dinning.
3.) Mahjong - 'nough said!
4.) Gambling - there is a reason why every receptionist in SA casino's can say "ni-hou"
5.) The world is pretty much divided into Chinese and Non-Chinese... maybe even Han and Non-Han.
6.) Money spent that makes an good impression is money well spent. (think German cars and big ass houses)
7.) If you're male, wealthy, young (enough) and single everyone assumes and up to a certain extent condones you visiting prostitutes.
8.) The mother of your eldest son will always be your wife. Regardless that you've divorced and married a woman younger than the said son. Famous line from the mother of a Chinese billionaire after her sons divorce and remarriage- "This woman besides me is my daughter-in-law, everyone else I see them no more than prostitutes that my son frequent"
