John: Did you fly there?

Nick: Yes, I did. And it was very exciting.

John: Where did you get your ticket?

Nick: I went to the Air Company office and fixed up everything in a few minutes. Then I came

home, packed my things and got ready for the trip.

John: Did you feel nervous?

Nick: Not a. bit. Just excited.

John: Did you get into the plane straight away?

Nick: Oh, no. First I had to check in my luggage. If your luggage is overweight you have to pay

extra, if it is underweight you needn't pay anything.

John: And what did you do then?

Nick: I went to the departure lounge to wait for my flight. When it was announced I passed

through customs and immigration office and walked to the plane. It was on the runway.

Sometimes when the plane is at the far end of the field passengers are taken there by a special

motor­coach.

The other day a group of foreign students was invited to look round the Houses of Parliament at

Westminster. The students arrived at Westminster at half past three and went to the entrance in

the Victoria Tower. Soon the guide came and the tour began.

The guide took the students first to the House of Lords. They saw the Throne on which the

Queen sits when she opens Parliament and the Woolsack (a real sack of wool) on which the

Lord Chancellor sits. The Lord Chancellor sits on a woolsack because years ago wool was the

most important thing England produced. There are almost 800 peers in the House of Lords but

only about half take an active interest in the affairs of the state.

Next the guide took the students to the House of Commons. It did not look so splendid as the

House of Lords. However it was much more interesting. The guide showed the Speaker’s Chair

and the seat where the Prime Minister sits, the benches of the Government and of the

Oppositions. There are 650 members in the House of Commons but there are only seats for 370

members.

President Hotel in Moscow. These types of hotels have everything for businessmen: more than

20 conference halls, banquet halls and showrooms. Every businessman can use satellite

communications, satellite TV, Internet. Every room has a telephone, a minibar, a safe, an airconditioner

and many other services. Of course there are many restaurants, casinos, bowling

halls, night clubs, fitness clubs where one can have some fun. All hotels of this type have a

highly qualified guard.

If you travel for pleasure you can find not very expensive, but very comfortable hotels to stop

there. These hotels have all modern conveniences and very cozy rooms. Usually there are many

double rooms and some single ones. There is a bathroom and a TV­set in every room. There is

a phone too. Every hotel has a receptionist’s desk where you can get all the necessary

information, leave your key and use a safe for your money and documents. There is a hall

where you can sit and watch TV, read a newspaper or just talk to somebody.

The usual meals in Russia are breakfast dinner and supper. As a rule people have breakfast at

7 or 8 o'clock in the morning. Russians like fried or boiled potatoes with some sausage or ham

or a chop (cutlet). Sometimes we prefer an omelet, boiled or fried eggs or just some porridge (a

plate of boiled rice, semolina, buckwheat porridge), or vermicelli (macaroni), fruit ­dumplings or

curd­fritters.

Children and grown­ups are fond of pancakes and fritters with butter and jam. Then you have a

cup of tea with milk or lemon or coffee (strong, weak, black, white, with cream) and a couple of

ham and cheese sandwiches or slices of bread and butter. At about 1:00 or 2:00 p. m. we have

dinner. It often consists of 3 courses.

For the I­st course we eat chicken soup or cabbage soup (shchi), or beetroot and cabbage soup

(borsch), noodle soup or just broth. Some people choose mushroom soup or fish­soup. In spring

and summer when it's hot it's so nice to have the so­called "okroshka", a traditional Russian dish

(cold kvass soup with chopped vegetables and meat or fish), a kind of hodge­podge.

Businessmen who are going to do business with Japanese firms must know that the Japanese

are very sensitive people and not impressed by what is popular in Europe and particularly in the

US, like back­slapping, hand­pumping, and the European and American sense of humour.

The Japanese are very serious about business and any attempt to brighten the atmosphere of

business talks with a joke or an anecdote will almost certainly be interpreted as improper.

Westerners often make the mistake if handing Japanese highly colored cards, which are offputting

to the Japanese.

In Japan it is considered proper that the cards should be simple and the individual name should

be in smaller letters than the name of the company.

Exchanging gifts is a part of everyday Japanese life and foreign visitors should come around

with a number of souvenirs of their country or company. The space they occupy in the suitcase

will be filled, on the return journey, with similar souvenirs from the Japanese.
