If you do use this lesson with your teacher or adult classes, here is an interesting graphic you could also use.  http://mountainrunner.us/2008/01/differences_between_eastern_an.html
It is written by a Chinese woman in Germany, so it is mainly about the differences between Chinese and German culture.    It tends to be stereotypical, which is how we all view other cultures.  The comments for this are interesting. 
btw, I didn't agree with all the answers for this quiz.  And I felt some had more than one answer.

This is a power point I made to go with this lesson. It's pretty self explanatory.

Hey guys, thanks so much for this, I've found that it works really well.
I've taken SaraMo's version and just added simple images after each question to have a bit more of a visual element and to help some of the lower level students understand a bit better, so here it is if anyone would like it.
Thanks again!
