George you may remember is the creator of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diversophy.com\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Diversophy <\/a>intercultural games. We also talked about other intercultural games and when I mentioned Barnga, which we described way back in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.absolutely-intercultural.com\/?p=61\" target=\"_blank\">show 43<\/a>, he told me about another very effective intercultural game. You could tell this was a good one because it made people absolutely angry!<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely distant<\/strong><br \/>\nIt&#8217;s not just anger which is a symptom of your being out of your comfort zone. I was surprised when Janice Ford, an Australian talked about this feeling of being absolutely distant. Janice Ford took a course with me at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theconsultants-e.com\" target=\"_blank\">The Consultants-E<\/a> where I help teachers intgerate ICT into their language teaching and is just one of the many interesting people I meet there from all over the world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely incredible<\/strong><br \/>\nYou&#8217;ve probably heard about <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bollywood\" target=\"_blank\">Bollywood<\/a>, the Indian film industry, and how it rivals Hollywood in scope and numbers of films produced so  now we&#8217;re going to hear from Rebecca Chadwick, who&#8217;s just finished high school and is so mad about Indian film that she signed up to a years course at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aaft.com\/ \" target=\"_blank\">Asian Academy of Film and TV<\/a> in New Delhi and simply flew straight into her course at the beginning of July having never travelled further than Europe before. If you watch satellite TV you&#8217;ll probably understand why I&#8217;m calling this strand a<strong>bsolutely incredible<\/strong> when I contacted Rebecca shortly after her arrival to hear about her first impressions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>absolutely social<\/strong><br \/>\nNow perhaps Rebecca might have benefited from being a member of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.internations.org\" target=\"_blank\">Internations<\/a>, a website designed to help expatriates all over the world cope with being stationed far away from home. My final guest on the show today is Malte Zeeck, co founder of Internations and my first question was about why such a website is needed. If you like the sound of internations and would like to join, then get in touch with me through this blog as I have some invitations available.
