But frustrating when you're in the middle of things. And no... won't share my work stuff on this blog!<br /><br />Ordinary malaysian -I don't think it's a bad thing. Swedish people are not the most straightforward people in the world either. We often say things to please others, even though we might not agree to 100%.

But so true, the way you put across this Chinese quirk.
