        Foreign (外国的)visitors are often puzzled in Japan because most streets there don't have names. In Japan, people use landmarks(地标) instead of street names. For example, 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 just across the bus stop."

        In the Midwest of America, usually there are not many landmarks. So people will tell you directions(方向) and distance. In Kansas(堪萨斯州), for example, people will say, "Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile."

        People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map. They measure(测量) distance by telling time. "How far is the post office?" you ask. "Oh," they answer, "it's about five minutes' walk from here. "

        You say, "Yes, but how many miles away is it?" They don't know.

        People in Greece(希腊) sometimes do not even try to give directions because few visitors understand the Greek language. Instead of giving you the direction, a Greek will often say, "Follow me." Then he'll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.
