    One year, however, Mr Smith made a lot of money in his business, so they decided to go to London and stay at a really good hotel while they went touring around that famous city.

    They flew to London and arrived at their hotel late one evening. They had expected that they would have to go to bed hungry, because in that small inn in New Jersey, no meals were served after seven. They were surprised when the waiter asked whether they would take dinner there that night. "Are you still serving dinner?" asked Mr Smith. "Yes, certainly, sir, " answered the waiter.

    Of course, Mr McCorpuodale has his favourite places. He describes New Zealand as "a wonderful country". About China, he says, "This is a special country in the world. I like her wonderful culture and friendly people.
