Cultural Anecdotes

Telling stories about past events requires: past simple -past continuous - past perfect.

 Once, I WENT to a meeting with the chairman of a bank in Mumbai and when I WENT into his offi ce, I WAS surprised to see a shrine SET up on the table where discussions WERE GOING to take place and incense WAS BURNING in the room. After the customary greetings and introductions, the chairman then TURNED on some chanting music. I ASKED what the music WAS and he told me that it WAS Indian mantra music to help create a good atmosphere in the meeting. The Indians BELIEVED it encouraged a positive outcome. It WAS quite a different experience to doing business back at home. I HAD NEVER SEEN this kind of thing before.
