When Kelly got home, Peter was angrily trying to fix dinner, complaining about the small appliances and not being able to understand the food packages or how to prepare the T006. He said he needed something else to do, but that there did not seem to be a job on the horizon for him. He was also concerned about continuing to live in such a high-cost city on only one salary.

Kelly went to the other room to see the children; they were fighting and complaining that they had nothing to d0 and wanted to go home. Kelly felt that the three months that they had been there was not a fair trial, and was wondering what to do. She wished she had more time to prepare for this assignment, and whenever she contacted the home office no one seemed able to advise her.

1. Explain the clashes in culture, customs, and expectations that occurred in the situation.

2. Turn back the clock to when Kelly was offered the position in Tokyo. What, if anything, should have been done differently, and by whom?

3. You are Kelly. What should you d0 now?
