The Joys of International Working

This is my first blog entry posted at work, but I just got a big laugh out of an email I received and wanted to share.

Context was that there was some debate among a small group of people going around in an email. I put in my point of view, and then suggested 'Sounds like we may need a quick pow-wow about this one.'

Within about 5 minutes I received this response from one of my Dutch R&D partners:

pow-wow is a new term for me. According to wikipedia "a pow-wow is a specific type of event where both Native American and non-Native American people meet to dance, sing, socialize, and honor American Indian culture. There is generally a dancing competition, often with significant prize money awarded." I am looking forward to it ;-)
