Exercise #5 Outsourced-the movie study guide.

The film has shown the way of how culture is different from place to another. At the beginning, Todd was asked to go to India to reduce the MPI (Minutes per Incident) in order to get his promotion. The very first thing went wrong with him was at the airport when the guy who was supposed to pick him up didn’t write his name properly, which led him to take a taxi to the train station then the train to the place where he should go to. Nothing was organized in the train and he found no place to sit, however a kid gave him his seat and sat on his lap so they can share the seat till they arrive. Once he arrived, he wanted to have something to drink and he bought the iced drink which foreigners feels sick normally after having it but he didn’t know that. The reason behind Puro taking Todd to the boarding house is that the hotel is so lonely and he doesn’t want him be bored plus he wants to ta make sure that someone to take care of him. The first thing Aunti Ji asked Todd Are you married? do you have girl friend ? why they broke up?  These questions are personal.
