One of the biggest culture shocks I experienced in Delhi was going to the cinema (Die Hard 3, I think). Almost every member of the audience talked on the 'phone the whole way through. The conversations always started, "I'm in the cinema..." and then "deteriorated" into social gossip.
I nearly got into a fight with an Indian, that did not understand, despite multiple official and individual warnings, that talking on a phone in the theater in the US,(except in the hood), is not acceptable behavior... But a pitcher of beer in your lap may be an acceptable reward!
