     When I was leaving to meet Lynne, my friend Tony told me that I'd better take some money. But I didn't
listen to him. I thought Lynne would pay because she had invited me. I arrived at the restaurant on time. I
know Americans expect you to be on time. Lynne and I sat at a table and a waiter brought us some delicious
food.
     The dinner was a great success. We talked a lot while eating. After two hours, the waiter finally came and
asked if we wanted one check (账单) or two, Lynne said two. We went to the cashier and Lynne paid her
check. I was embarrassed when the cashier gave me my bill. I had no money to pay for my meal. Then I had
an idea. I said, "Oh! I forgot my wallet! Can I call my friend, please?" The cashier showed me where the phone
was and I quickly called Tony. In a few minutes, he arrived with some money, and paid my check. He laughed
at me all the way home. Now, I think it's funny too, but at that time I was very embarrassed. I thought an
invitation to have dinner in America meant the same thing as that in China. Now I think you have to understand
that your customs are only your customs. When you visit a foreign country, you have to learn about their
customs, too. They can be quite different.
