How Can I Get to the Post Office I never take a map with me when i travel.I prefer to ask for directions Sometimes I lose my way,but I usually have a good time. I can learn a new language and meet new people.I find out about different “styles”of giving directions every time I ask, “How can I get to the post office?”

People in Los Angeles,the United States,have no idea of distances on the map: they measure distance in time.not miles.”How far away is thepost office?”you ask.”oh,”they answer,”it’s about five minutes’ drive from here.”you say,”yes,but how many miles away is it?”they don’t know.

Foreign travelers are often confused in a Japanese city because mostStreets there don’t have names. The Japanese will say to travelers,”Go Straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit Market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”

In Greece where the Greek language is spoken,people sometimes do not even try to give directions because travelers may not know Greek.A Greek will often say,”Follow me.”Then he’ll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.

Sometimes a person doesn’t know the answer to your question.what happens in such a situation?A New Yorker might say,”Sorry,I have no idea”but in Mexico,no one answers “I don’t know.”People there believe that “I don’t know”is not polite.They usually give an answer,often a wrong one.

3.Are you sure of getting the right answer when you ask for directions in your hometown

1.Why are foreign travelers often confuse in a Japanese city?

2.What will a Greek do when you ask him/her for directions?
