Open Space Shanghai: no difference between chinese and non-chinese

[Michael M Pannwitz]

Dear Gijs!
Great!
I love the contrast between the "key note speakers" part (one speaker, 
many listeners in rows) and the Open Space sequence, very nicely shown 
in the photographs...and I am amazed how clearly and instantaneously I 
can see when it is Open Space and when not.
The remark of the chinese woman is so typical, what she said I have 
heard many times in Germany (always women!)(typically it makes me cringe 
considering that people spend 30 or more years in all kinds of settings 
before they ever speak, what a system!, and then something so simple as 
Open Space comes along and here, bingo, it transforms that 
"behavior")...and considering that by my counting, women represented 
less than 20% in your crowd.
Please do send a picture of yourself so that I can add it to your entry 
in the world map (600 x 400 pixels is optimal, just attach to an email 
to me). The picture you have on your home page would be perfect, 
complete with hat (I added your www to your info box in the world map)
