Hi,

My name is Bob South and I am the current Boeing Representative in Ashgabat. I will be starting my PhD dissertation on the subject of culture shock and cross-cultural training in a few months and would love to have a sampling of responses from your survey. I would like to stay in touch but have some very strict requirements regarding research prior to subject approval. So Thank you in advance and keep the news coming.
