If you are a visitor, you may look for the post office in a foreign country. Can you imagine (想像) how those people will tell you the way?

In Los Angeles, California, the American people have no idea of the ①distance on the map. “How far is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it is about ten minutes by taxi from here.” But in fact, they don’t know how far it is.

In Greece (希腊), a Greek will often say, “Follow me.” Then he’ll go with you through the streets of the city to the post office.

In many places, people usually say “Sorry, I don’t know” when they can’t tell you the way. However, in Mexico (墨西哥), the people think I don’t know it is not polite (有礼貌的). They usually give an answer, often a wrong one.

So you must be careful of their habits (习惯) when you are asking the way in a foreign country.
