Let’s deal wit a fact as a mediator, I can not rarely come up with a funny topic, but my topics with a high chance can lead into funny and peaceful moments. My today’s topic is the "Christmas firefighting”. Statistics on divorce regularly reveal a spike in the number of people separating in the month of January, so we rightly suspected increased tension around Christmas as the last straw. What can we do to prevent tension and conflicts? Let’s take the most critical point! The difference with Christmas compared to the rest of the year is that there is an intense period of approximately two to three weeks which tests any kind of relationships. The present You received a present what makes you understand that they even don’t know who you are?  You should ask yourself the following Christmas firefighting questions: Did I give chance for this people to understand what I am wishing for? If the answer yes: you can still try to have more direct discussion next year. If it won’t work jus...

Drop by drop our Serbia compatible family version

How did we build our Serbia compatible family version drop by drop? After a few moves, we developed our own relocation routine, including a priority list - which is constantly changing as our child grows. Of course, at the top of the list are all the things what we are not willing to give up. Our first task on our to do list after having decided to accept a job offer in some other country is to visit the city that might become our temporary home. We prefer to discover the city with a local tour guide, the trip includes the visiting of some schools, learning about the local real estate market, finding out more information about public safety, health care, and taking a look at the selection of shops.

Csak a jelenléteddel mindent olyan izgalmassá tudsz tenni. Vegyük ezt a sült gesztenyét, ha hozzád bújok és becsukom a szemem pont olyan érzésem támad, mintha egy egzotikus szigeten kókuszdiót majszolgatnék veled.  Áron mélyen Nóra szemébe nézett: - Nóra, hozzám jössz feleségül? - Áron, ez nagyon hízelgő, de amióta megismertelek én mindig mondtam, hogy a házasság nem szerepel a terveim között. Minek ez a cécó? Ott vannak a csimpánzok, akiktől származunk, ők nem kötik le magukat egy tá...

Tourist Behavior and its Impact on Service Quality

The holidays are our precious times of the year. When it comes to planning our holiday we take into consideration all our dreams, needs and we try to find out the perfect match, the only limit is our budget.  Tourism statistics shows that on our holidays we prefer to experience something different to our own culture. The reason behind is that if you live in cold, grey climates for most of the year and work hard at material pursuits as a release, they are periodically tempted to transfer to cultures, seduced by better climates, tastier food, exciting sounds and movement, lights, exquisite architecture, spectacular scenery and sensual environments. After destination is chosen, comes the excitement, the preparation period. So we often make efforts to learn some basic sentences to be able to communicate on our holiday with locals. But what about basic knowledge of local manners? According to psychologist Albert Mehrabian, of the total meaning of a spoken message, 7% comes from ...
