     If American customs seem strange, remember that Americans feel the same way when they visit
another country, people living in different cultures do many daily things differently from one another.
What a dull(not interesting or boring) the world would be if this were not true!
     Some differences are small, and one soon becomes used to them. For example, many people find
it strange that Americans move from place to place so often. Born in one city, they may attend school
in a second, enter business in a third, and perhaps move several times during their lives. Today, most
Americans fully expect and accept the fact that they will move frequently.
     However, houses are of great interest to Americans. They spend a lot of time thinking, reading and
talking about their homes and how to improve them. They also enjoy looking at other people's houses,
since they would enjoy visiting and examining a house in another country, they may suppose that you
will probably have the same desire(strong wish) when you visit the United States. So do not be
surprised when you visit an American family and are shown every room in the house besides the
bathroom and kitchen.
