Show lessons, Spring/Summer 2002 page 15 Mahima Pathak Nepal Senior, Marketing Do your cultural differences provide an alternate perspective in teaching or learning? I was born in Nepal, brought up in Australia, and lived in three different countries for a while. I think I share a lot of my experience with others, and this is always helpful in marketing.
