QUESTION #1 *

When traveling, there is always a risk of delayed or cancelled flights; eating later than expected, plans changing without warning, etc. Explain how you think you would react to our flight home being cancelled, causing the team to sleep in an airport and wait for a new flight.

Please share your experience working with diverse cultures. If you have not worked with other cultures, then please tell us about your comfort level in doing so.
