During the cultural awareness training 2 weeks before, I was told that, erman people are very serious about their titles. If he/she obtains a doctor or professor title, you should address him/her as Dr. X or Prof. X ALL the time.??xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

The instructor then followed by an example:-

 had a colleague who suddenly became a Dr. in Mining History of Eastern Germany one day, which isn useful nowadays no matter in his work?or in general?Oops!~  told me that he couldn wait 4 days till his new business card was ready just because he would have no business card to be given to others the coming 3 days?

So now, I am Frau BA(Hons) Wong, the people from the Finance Department address me like that in their emailsee, ugly~ Fortunately, this is not my department practice?/SPAN>
