Many people choose overseas destinations for honeymoon cruises, discount tours, or study abroad. However, preparing for such experiences is very important. What concerns would you have in traveling to a new country (e.g., language, food, transportation, etc.)? What would be the best way to relieve any of these feelings of anxiety?
A. Listen to the recording and answer the questions.
Having been overseas before, I felt somewhat at ease with the idea of traveling abroad, particularly since I lived in Asia for a number of years.
I quickly figured out the custom of haggling over the price before you buy something.
I realized that my presence was perhaps an oddity with so few foreigners in that area. In fact, the people were just curious, and I was even able to strike up a few conversations with some of the locals.
I, on the other hand, tried to dart in and out of traffic to cross streets, weaving back and forth, to get to the other side. It was a little scary at first, but I quickly got the knack of it.
Regardless of language and culture, all people have a desire for friendship that bridges any cultural boundaries.
