My holiday with Grandparents was great! They moved to Arizona when I was five. This was my first time to travel by (I).The village is on the top of a tall hill. I wasn't sure if I could climb that high. I also wanted to know if Grandma and Grandpa would act (different) in this village than they did in our apartment(公寓) in New York.
Grandpa met me at the airport. As we drove away from the city, I enjoyed the beauty of the desert(沙漠). Soon we arrived the village. I looked down and found that we were so high up. I felt a bird!
Grandma(wait) for us. Their rooms were cool under the hot sun. Grandma said the building was made of stones(石头) and the stones kept the rooms cool.
After (eat) lunch, we took a walk outside. We visited the "kiva": it is a large room the Hopi people go for special events.
I really liked the Hopi people. They were (friend) to me. One man helped me make a gift to take home to Mum. The children and I played ball games. It seemed I was part of the big family in the village. It was hard (leave) my grandparents when my two weeks were over. I hope to live in Walpi for two more weeks!
It's true that every country has its customs.
We all know that in America if people are pleased with you, they will give you a sign "OK". But maybe you don't know this sign is rude in Brazil.
In Poland, guests usually choose flowers as presents for hostesses(女主人). Remember the number must be odd(奇数的). And the hostess doesn't hope that you remove the cover of the bunch(束) of flowers. You must be more careful when you give red roses to a woman because the red rose means love.
In China we often hear people say that "nodding" means agreement(同意). And "shaking the head" means disagreement. But in Bulgaria they mean the opposite.
We really need to pay more attention to the differences in customs. What's more, we should learn more about them in order to avoid embarrassment(尴尬). Do remember: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
