I've been all over Asia and I have to watch myself there too It's interesting you should say that. There are a number of sociologists who have commented on the similarity between Asian (and more specifically Confucian) cultures and Southern culture.

From my personal observations...I'd definitely agree with the sociologists. Especially in the first five minutes of meeting someone. Smalltalk is expected. Getting right down to business aka, "New Yawk" style is a big no-no. Up here...
smalltalk will get you some funny looks and will put into question the seriousness of your business deal.

I have heard similar observations from one of my history professors, Dr. Lung-Kee Sun. He is also a fairly astute observer of the details of such things.
