#3 Afandi Quiz: Cultural Misunderstanding
Today’s quiz is about a cultural misunderstanding in the following situation:
▶️ An 🇺🇸American backpacker (=traveller with a big backpack) in 🇹🇭Thailand feels hungry late in the evening. So he goes out of his hostel (=cheap hotel) to grab some delicious Thai street food. He sits down on a half-broken plastic chair and devours (=eats a lot and quickly, like a monster) a portion of yummy fried noodles.
As he finishes his meal he realises he left his money in the hostel. Luckily, he thinks, as a traveller in unsafe places he still has some emergency (=an unexpected bad situation) cash in one of his shoes.
He takes out the money and wants to pay but seeing this, the lady who served him the noodles freaks out (=reacts angrily).
❓What’s the problem?
