Lifestyle: Ex-pat style

1 Are you thinking of living and working abroad? Do you think you could live in another culture? A survey of people living and working in the Middle East asked the same question, with surprising results. Most people living and working abroad (ex-pats) don't see any difference in the way they work. Many people get used to cultural differences like working on Sunday and different ways of working.

2 Many people enjoy working with their colleagues but most people hardly ever see them after work to socialize with them. Instead they usually meet people from their own country after work and spend time with them. 3 Is this because ex-pats do not learn the local language? Many people take language lessons every week, but they don't usually speak the language outside class and at work they always speak English. 4 Do they miss their own countries? Most people feel homesick sometimes, but they said this gets better with time.

Are women

better bosses?

Its an.old question - who manages people better, a female manager or a male manager? We asked two people with male and female managers for their experiences.

My mgin boss is a man but the company director I is|f woman, so I have ''experience of both ways of

management - and there is [ certainly a difference. My

boss - Paulo- is more traditional. He likes to make all the decisions. Our company director - Janet - is different. She is friendlier and thinks about her employees more than Paulo. I think Janet is a better manager and women are better managers.

i

H I

You know, I have two bosses - one man and one woman. Our woman manager is in New York, the man is in London. We see our London manager more

often than our American manager. When I think about them, pur woman manager is easier to talk to and is more interested in her colleagues - what they do, their families, etc. Our male boss is direct - he likes to find answers to problems - byt he can make people angry more quickly than our London boss. In my opirtionlwomen managers are better than men.

Food for thought

When you're buying your food, you can't always ask about what's in it - in the supermarket, for example, you can't usually ask 'How many calories* are there in this pizza?' Which food is good for you and which food is bad is sometimes easy to decide. Chocolate -b a d for you; fruit and vegetables- good. But knowing what is good and bad isn't always so easy. For example, olives are low in fat but are often high in salt.

For tins of food like soup or drinks like cola, reading food labels isn't always so simple. To help people stay healthy, food in the UK is labelled like a traffic light: green = good for you; yellow = OK to eat this sometimes; red = don't eat this food often. A red traffic light will show you that the food has a lot of sugar, salt or fat in it. Traffic light colours on food help you to control what you are eating. So now you don't need to read the labels or ask someone about food products - you can see what is good for you quickly and easily.

* calorie = the amount of energy a particular food can

produce
