Travel tips
A) Cities like London, Paris and Venice are very popular places for
sightseeing. The pyramids in Egypt and the Great Wall in China
are important tourist attractions. They receive thousands of visitors
each year. However, tourists today are always looking new destina-
tions. It is now possible to visit Antarctica, to take holidays under
the sea and even to go on holiday in space.
31
B) Lots of companies offer organized tours with tour leaders. These
are often to places famous for their art and history, like Italy or
Egypt. Or what about an adventure holiday – trekking or scuba-diving? Wildlife holidays, with activities from bird-watching to
whale-watching are popular but can be expensive. Or you could
choose independent travel. A lot of young people go backpacking
around the world after they nish their education.
C) You need to decide which part of travel industry you want to work
in. If you like people, you could work for an airline, looking after
passengers in the air or on the ground. Or you could work in a hotel, where you would meet and talk to guests every day. If you like
the business side more think about working for a tour operator (the
people who organize holidays) or a travel agent (the people who sell
them to customers). If you want to travel, you can become a tour
leader.

should never make disrespectful comments about the royal family.
Like the Thais, you should always stand in silence when the national anthem is played. Never stand on banknotes – the king’s picture
on them.
B. Always take off your shoes before entering a temple (wat) or other
holy building that contains a Buddha image. Do not stand in front of
Buddha statues for photographs. Shorts and sleeveless shirts are not
appropriate dress for visiting a wat. Both men and women should
make sure their legs and arms are covered. Women should never
touch a Buddhist monk. If you sit in a temple, make sure that your
feet are not pointing towards the Buddha.
C. Thais greet each other with a hands together gesture called a wai. If
someone wais you, you should do the same. It’s polite to smile too.
When you give things to other people, use the right hand or both
hands. Never use the left hand. If you shout, people will think you
are very impolite.
D. Generally, wearing shorts is inappropriate unless on the beach. In
the street, and in banks, or government ofces, try to dress in neat,
clean clothes. For men this means a shirt and trousers, for women
a modest dress or blouse and skirt, or trousers. Sandals and shortsleeved shirts are acceptable.
E. Thais are very hospitable. If you are lucky, you may be invited to
someone’s home. You will usually be offered food or drink. It is
polite to accept and your host may think you are discourteous if you
don’t accept. Always remove your shoes before entering someone’s
home.

Когда вы отправляетесь в другую страну, узнайте о её культуре и

36
Например, в Объединенных Арабских Эмиратах вы можете
оскорбить человека, если откажетесь от предложенного им чая или
кофе. Во всех мусульманских странах запрещено употребление
алкоголя в общественных местах. Девушкам из Европы запрещено
посещать многие святые места. В Азии лучше не прикасаться к голове
и волосам азиатов, особенно тайцев, этим вы можете их оскорбить.
Говоря о жестах, помните, что в разных странах одни и те же жесты
могут означать совершенно противоположное. Да и чрезмерная
жестикуляция, нормальная, скажем, для Италии, покажется
невежливой японцу или китайцу.

The Day of the Dead
The Day of the Dead is Mexico’s best-known festival. It is held on 2nd
of November. On this day the souls of the dead are believed to return to
the earth. The festival is celebrated everywhere in Mexico.
Before the festival, families decorate their homes with owers. The
night before the festival, they visit cemeteries to sit with their dead friends
and relatives by candlelight. On the day itself, they visit the cemetery
again, and take presents, such as owers. It is a celebration of the life of
the dead person. The souls of dead children are called angelitos, because
they are assumed to become angels. The festivities in the Patzcuaro region
are the most famous, especially those on the Isla Janitzio in the Lago de
Patzcuaro. There are traditional dances, and there is a parade of decorated canoes late in the evening. It is thought that this tradition originated
with the Purepecha Indians. It involves the story of the royal Purepechan
lovers, Minitzita and Itzihuapa, whose love was destroyed by the Spanish
conquistador, Nuno de Guzman. It is said that the soul of the lovers come
to the cemetery of the island’s church on this night.
If you want to visit Patzcuaro at this time, you will need to book your
hotel in advance. Also bring a warm sweater as it can get quite cold in this
mountainous area in November.
