In this episode, I talk to my students Fu aka Cloudy and Nikita. The former is Chinese and the latter Russian. We go through some common stereotypes about their own countries, and discuss whether we think they are true or false. Due to openinmindedness of the guys, we manage to do this successfully even though the topics themselves may appear slightly controversial at first sight. Overall this is a lighthearted and fun chat.

    Are Chinese products of low quality? Are the Chinese polite? Can they speak English? Are they good at maths? Are they excellent martial artists? Will they eat anything? Is there equality between men and women in China? Are the Chinese all controlled by the government?

Do all Russians have ties to the mafia? Are they all good hackers? Do bears walk the streets? Is it cold everywhere in Russia? Do all Russians drink vodka? Do Russian women dress well? And who the hell are Babushkas and why there are so many of them there?
