If we are not too sure what the guest-of-honour means in the reply he has sent, as to whether he is turning up for an event, and we suspect he belongs to a high context culture, what should we do?
A . Since he is from the high context culture, he may find us rude trying to probe, so we should just leave it and carry on with the preparations as though he is turning up.
B. Just send him another email to clarify with him, politely of course.
C. Try to get in touch with those close to him, for instance, his Personal Assistant or colleagues, and find out from them.
