5£®I was born and raised in England in a culture where privacy and"keeping yourself to yourself"were valued traditions£®Speaking to strangers was not encouraged£®People were most hospitable£¨ºÃ¿ÍµÄ£© and friendly£®However£¬I have been lucky enough to spend some time in both Italy and the US£¬where I found traditions of hospitality and politeness to be very different£®
I experienced Italian hospitality first-hand on a crowded railway carriage travelling£¬one afternoon£¬from Genoa to Florence£®Sinking gratefully into an empty seat£¬I was scolded in rapid Italian by a gentleman who was returning to this seat-it had not been"spare"after all£®I apologized in English£¬and got up to allow him back into the seat£®The gentleman obviously had no understanding of the English language£¬but he£¬too£¬realized my genuine£¨Õæ³ÏµÄ£© mistake£®He smiled and gestured for me to remain in the seat£¬and he himself remained standing in the corridor for the remainder of the journey£®The other occupants of the carriage smiled and nodded at me and made me feel quite welcome amongst them£®I feel that if this had been in England£¬a foreigner who made a mistake would not always be so kindly treated£®
Transport also featured in the differences I noticed between English and American culture£®I flew to New York on a plane with mainly English passengers£®We sat together in near silence£®Nobody spoke to me nor£¬as I expected£¬to anyone else they did not know£®They felt it was not polite to interrupt someone else's privacy£®However£¬when I travelled across the United States£¬whether by plane or Greyhound bus£¬I was never short of conversation£®Conversation was going on all around me and whoever sat next to me was happy to introduce themselves and ask me about myself£®They obviously felt it would have been rude not to speak to another person£¬whether they were strangers or not£®
