An important question about eating out is who pays for the meal. If a friend of yours asks you to have
lunch with him, you may say something like this, "I'm afraid it'll have to be someplace cheap, as I have
very little money." The other person may say,"OK, I'll meet you at McDonald's. "
This means that the two agree to go Dutch, that is, each person pays for himself. He may also say,
"Oh, no. I want to take you to lunch at Smith's," or "I want you to try the Chinese dumplings there.
They're great." This means the person wants to pay for both of you. If you feel friendly towards this
person, you can go with him and you needn't pay for the meal. You may just say, "Thank you. That
would be very nice".
American customs about who pays for dates (绚会) are much the same as them in other parts of the
world. In the old days, American women wanted men to pay for all the meals. But today, a university
girl or a woman in business world will usually pay her way during the day. If a man asks her for a dance
outside the working hours, it means "Come, as my guest". So as you can see, it is a polite thing to make
the question clear at the very beginning.

The train I was traveling on was already half an hour late. I had to arrive in Vienna at 7:15 to catch it. He advised me to get off two stops before Vienna station and take a taxi. When the time came, the conductor even helped me with my bags. He wished me good luck as I jumped off. And a few minutes later, I was racing towards the centre of the city in a taxi. It was almost 7:25 when we stopped outside the station. I paid the driver quickly, took hold of my bags quickly and hurried inside. “Pairs train” was all I had time to say to the official I saw. You can guess how I feel when he pointed to a man that the train was just moving out of the station.
