In our latest Absolutely Intercultural show, ( http://www.absolutely-intercultural.com) listeners may be surprised to hear that the UK has a good balance between work and home life. Of course this all depends on your starting point and this view is put forward by a visiting systems engineer from India who also found the British polite and caring. The show also features the stark difference between the British and Danish educational sytems. When Tommy Søholm, a Dane on a 3 year assignment in the UK, took his 3 children to the local school he only expected the two older ones to be enrolled and was most surprised that his four year old should be eligible also. So four year old Matthias went from playing all day in a sandpit at the kindergarten to sitting at a desk doing serious work dressed in his school uniform.
