3. When he gets on the train, he cannot find an empty
seat. How is this problem solved for him? How might this be a cultural
solution?
One of the kids among the travelers offers him his seat and
the kid sit on Todd’s thighs which was unexpected to Todd. What I see from the
kid’s action is that a part of their culture is that younger people should
always respect older people. Just like our Emirati culture
4. As any exchange student, he has a lot of experiences
trying new food. His first encounter is with an iced drink. What happens?
Todd bought a cup of Gola (iced drink) to quench his thirst,
but later on he gets stomachache because his not used to the drink, just like
milk camel when Bedouins in UAE offer camel milk to Urbans, it cause them diarrhea.
7. Todd wants to check in to a
hotel. But Puro insists he comes to a boarding house. What is the reason
he gives Todd?
Because Garabori Palace hotel is
lonely and Puro does not want Todd to feel lonely but wants him to be in good
hands.
8. As soon as they meet, Aunti Ji starts asking very
intimate questions that Americans who have just met would never ask. What kind
of things does she ask?
Are you married?/ do you have girl friend ? / why they broke
up? These questions are personal.
