Summary/Abstract: Regardless of the bulk of comprehensive information available today, true knowledge of the Asian culture in Europe or the European culture in Asia has not become considerably deeper, sometimes even to the contrary – the old stereotypes continue to exist as part of the packaging for pseudo information adjusted to the short-term goals of the contemporary globalised society, supplemented by travel guides and announcements tailored to the needs of immediate politically economical conjuncture. And yet, this is only the top of the intercultural communication iceberg.
