Case 2. The Cancellation of the Dinner Party
Comment:
New Zealand, a friend can openly provide constructive criticism. If Stan did not make such suggestions to a friend in his country, the friend would be angry that Stan did not help him when he had the chance.
Philippines, a person cannot be a friend and a critic at the same time , or at least not in public. Stan should find some other way (acceptable to the Filipinos) to voice ments.

Case 3 Why should they do like this?
Comment:
British people maintain their etiquette and social manners even when they are very excited.
Filipino couple did not introduce their Filipino friend to him
Filipinos were talking in their own native language. No doubt the British felt left out, which is eptable and rarely occurs on social occasions in Britain.
immigrants meet in a foreign country, they tend to take no notice of their surroundings/people around, which is considered to be rude and requires attention.
