Giving Directions in Different Places

If you ask people of different countries “Could you tell me the way to the post office？”， you will get different answers.

In Japan, people use landmarks(路標(biāo)) instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers，“Go straight down to the corner. 36.【1】 The post office is across from the bus stop.”

In Kansas, America, there are no towns or buildings within(在……之內(nèi)) miles. So instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distance. For example, people will say, “Go north two miles(英里). 37.【2】”

People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions. They will often say, “Follow me.”38.【3】

Sometimes if the person doesn't know the answer to your question, he or she, like a New Yorker, might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don't know.”39.【4】 They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. A visitor can always get lost inYucatan! 40.【5】 You might not understand a person's words, but maybe you can understand his or her body language. He or she will usually point to the correct direction. Go on in that direction and you may find the direction.
