For me, this article it's a really good idea. All the people in the world think about a beer with friends after a long day, is an international habit. When you take a beer after work, it's easy to speak with different people and different nationality, often, you can have a good conversation. I think it's important to keep this habit for speak with different person. I learn something about this subject, the european people don't drink a lot! The Asian and American are before us. It's a really good article, good presentation, good picture ad good sentences.
