Imagine…Imagine…

You arrange to meet someone in the hostel lobby, and he arrives

half an hour late.

Should he apologize or explain?

What if it is normal to arrive after the scheduled meeting time in his

culture?


Imagine…Imagine…

You’re having a conversation with someone you’ve just met. She won’t

meet your eyes.

How would you feel?

What if direct eye contact is reserved for

intimate family members in her culture?
