　　Eating habits(习惯)are different in different countries．The Chinese have a saying “Eat good things for breakfast, eat a big meal for lunch, but eat less at dinner．”Many Americans agree that one should start the day with a good breakfast, but their ideas about lunch and dinner are different．

　　Most Americans only give themselves a short time for lunch．So they eat a small lunch．After work they will have more time to eat a big dinner．Also a quiet dinner at home with all the family talking about their day is a way to take a good rest after a long, hard day of work．

　　Eating at restaurants is also different．In China, people like to talk and laugh while eating．Very often you can hear people talking and laughing loudly, and they are just having a good time．In America it is not like this．They want a quiet place where they can eat a good meal far away from the noises of the outside world．If someone is talking too loudly, the manager(经理)of the restaurant will look at him or her angrily．If some people are talking too loudly, the manager of the restaurant may come out and ask them to be quiet．

The strangest thing about Lhasa is the weather, probably because the city lies so high in the mountains．It can change suddenly in a very short time, and that has happened a few times in the past days．Yesterday is a good example, when we woke up at 8∶00 it was cloudy but dry．Soon after it started to rain a bit at around 10∶00 am．In 20 minutes it became snowy, and it was freezing cold outside．Then at around 12∶00, when we just finished our visit to the Potala, the snow stopped and the clouds became thick．In an hour the temperature went up to over 20 degrees(度)and it became sunny!Later in the afternoon it became even warmer and we had drinks at an open air tea-house in the old town．At night after dinner when we wanted to take a taxi back to the hotel, it suddenly was very cold again and it started raining at 6∶30．The whole day there was hardly any wind, but while waiting for the taxi at 7∶00 the wind suddenly picked up．Today it's sunny again, but windy, and about 13 degrees．But the weather report that we received this morning said it would snow again．
