I don't know about the others, but "real" Chinese work seven days a
week! ;-)

I agree. And that's why an international standard was invented in
order to avoid misunderstandings. Day 1 in the airline industry is
Monday, and even though I grew up with Sunday being the first day of
the week, I have changed my paradigm. It doesn't really matter, the
point is that people understand one another. Hence, I like the ISO
norm as well.
