We welcome you to look at a demonstration of the Kiss, Bow or Shake Hands: XE database! Please visit the demo here and click on Malaysia, the demonstration country. The content on Malaysia is indicative of the type of data included in the fully loaded system.

One of the distinguishing characteristics of the Kiss, Bow:XE database is that our clients interact directly with us, the original authors of the content. This allows for immediate feedback and response to your personnel's questions and requests. This aspect is of great value to our clients like United Technologies Corporation and American Electric Power, who require authoritative support for their international travelers on a continuous basis. We look forward to hearing about your intercultural information goals, and how we may support them with our Kiss Bow or Shake Hands:XE database, seminars and books!

This is a note of thanks and appreciation for your presentation to our NATO Staff Officer Orientation Course.  You provided us a "master class" and we thank you for it.  I read our student comments earlier this week, and you will not be surprised to hear that their comments uniformly suggested - bluntly - that you be given more time, that your lessons were those they will take into any and all aspects of their professional life, and that they learned new information from a particularly engaging, high-energy speaker.  BRAVO!  On behalf of our students, and our NSOOC team, please accept my thanks for bringing the world to our classroom, and the appreciation - a la Galileo - that we are not at the center of it, but rather one piece.
