. I believe that
although
 working in a multinational organisation is a good
way
 to understand and learn about another country's
culture
, it cannot be deemed as the best method. There is no doubt that working in a large
MNC
 presents some opportunities to learn about other
cultures
 as employees deal with colleagues, businesses and clients from different parts of the globe.
For example
, in some

 it is normal to address clients and basses by their first name
whereas
 in others it is considered disrespectful.
Similarly
, countries like Japan and Germany are sticklers for punctuality and
people
 are expected to arrive on time for meetings but in other
cultures
 being a few minutes late is acceptable. Having said that, working in an
MNC
 is definitely not the best
way
 to learn about a
culture
 and there are better ways than it. One

 to experience and understand other

 is to actually travel to those countries and live their lifestyle. Travelling lets one experience all aspects of

 like food, language, customs, festivals etc.
However
, in an
MNC
, employees are restricted to just corporate aspects of a
culture
.
Also
, travelling lets you meet
people
 from different work backgrounds and not just the corporate world. There are other ways that are more fun and effective in learning about other
cultures

For example
, watching a foreign language movie, trying a new ethnic food recipe from another country and learning a foreign dance form online. These methods are
