　　By Joe I invited a friend of mine out to eat．My question is who should pay? I invited him to get together to eat, and I wanted to pay for the meal．However, someone told me that we both go Dutch on the bill is only proper and I want to know how you all see it．

　　By Bill Because you invite, you need to pay the bill(账单)．When friends are splitting(分离)a bill, most people pass the bill around the table and how much they pay bases on(以……为根据)what they order．If you both order the same thing, just split it．

　　By Holly If you invite him out and pick out the place where you go, you should pay because maybe he didn't want to spend his money there．

　　By Laura I don't think that people should expect the asker to pay unless it is a formal date and the asker is a man．It stops people from asking because you become a burden(负担)．For that reason I always pay even if someone asks me out．I think it's really polite．

　　By Mauchris I don't．think it is a big deal．Small things like this can sink a friendship．I would say that since you invited him that you should pay．Is it OK with him? If not, you are willing to go Dutch．

　　Several years ago, a television reporter was talking to three of the most important people in America．One was a very rich banker, another owned one of the largest companies in the world, and the third owned many buildings in the center of New York．

　　The reporter was talking to them about being important．

　　“How do we know if someone is really important?” the reporter asked the banker．

　　The banker thought for a few moments and then said, “I think anybody who is invited to the Whiter House to meet the President of the United States is really important．”

　　The reporter then turned to the owner of the very large company．“Do you agree with that?” she asked．

　　The man shook his head, “No．I think the President invites a lot of people to the White House．You’d only be important if while you were visiting the President, there was a telephone call from the president of another country, and the President of the US said he was too busy to answer it．”

　　The reporter turned to the third man．“Do you think so?”

　　“No, I don’t．” he said．“I don’t think that makes the visitor important．That makes the President important．”

　　“Then what would make the visitor important?” the reporter and the other two men asked．

　　“Oh, I think if the visitor to the White House was talking to the President and the phone rang, and the President picked up the receiver, listened and then said, ‘it’s for you．’”

　　In April, 2013, I visited Yangzhou．

　　Ge Garden is very beautiful and peaceful．The ticket has a map on the back of it that I didn't noticed until I had already left．But to be honest, I don't think that map is very useful because it isn't very clear and detailed．In my opinion, it's better to improve it．Compared with Ge Garden, the map on the back of the ticket for He Garden is much clearer, more detailed and more useful．However, in the room that has the picture of the family members, there is only Chinese, no English, so my advice is to add English in interesting places．I got lost in the Slender West Lake．I spent about 30 minutes just trying to get out of one area．I think they need more signs posted along the trails．I like the Slender West Lake best, as she is so pretty! The ladies that were sweeping were very sweet．They always smiled at me and said hello, so it was nice．

　　Taking a taxi is the most efficient(有效率的)and quickest way to get around Yangzhou．I didn't have a problem getting to the places which I'd like to go to while using a taxi．The driver was very friendly．The fare isn't too high, either．But I didn't enjoy taking the bus．The bus ride to the Mastixia Bay(茱萸湾公园)took long although I only had to pay one yuan．It was also hard finding where Bus 32 was．I tried asking some people in English but they couldn't understand me, so I had to ask in simple Chinese that I only know buy that still didn't work．I spent about one hour walking around the city to look for Bus 32．The tricycle(三轮车)was nice, but it was a little too expensive for a small distance．Maybe I was ripped off by the guy who rode for me, but it was an enjoyable ride．I felt like I was part of the garden city more．

　　Over all I am satisfied with Yangzhou and will recommend it to others．
