If you go to Britain, you will find a lot of strange things.
In Britain, people drive on the left. Mr. Black, from Greece, thinks this is very strange. “I am in Britain for about a month. But I never remember to look right first before I cross the road. If I stay here for a year, I still won't remember!”
Mr. Hasegawa, from Japan, can't understand why British people keep their shoes on at home. “If a visitor keeps his shoes on at home in Japan, we'd think he is very dirty or very rude (粗鲁). I also can't understand why British people don't wash the bath (浴缸) before using it. I feel dirty that way”
Mr. White, from Spain, finds the “strange” way British people greet each other. “They seem to be afraid of touching (触摸) each other. When they meet, they just smile and look! If I don't kiss or hug (拥抱) my friends in Spain, they’ll be very surprised. We always greet each like that. It's very usual”.
Mr. Green, from Italy, can't understand why British people queued (排队) so much. “At a bus stop or in a post office, they always stand in a line! If I do that in Italy, people will think I am mad!”
