How does the world celebrate Easter?

In Ireland herring processions are held since people became sick of eating herring during Lent in the past, comparatively in Germany an Easter Fire is lit.

If you are in Italy during Easter you should try the „Torta pasqualina”, a salty cake with eggs and spinach.

In Bulgaria, instead of hiding eggs people have egg fights and in Finnland children dress up as witches and go from door to door to collect candies.

It doesn't matter how you celebrate it - the Alpha Team wishes you Happy Easter and nice holidays!

Business Culture Guide

"Culture guides for your international business" could help you understand different cultures and their conventions.

This month we are introducing the Netherlands.

..."Honesty and straightforwardness are an essential part of doing business in the Netherlands. Consequently, when you really want to say 'no', tentative answers such as 'I'll consider it', 'We'll see', or 'perhaps' are not acceptable to the Dutch. Even if you find it difficult to say 'no', you'll find that your Dutch counterparts will prefer and appreciate a candid reply. "...
