as i was leaving to meet lynne,my roomate told me that i'd better take some money,but i didn't lisen to him.i thought that lynne would pay because she had invited me.
i arrived at the restaurant exactly on time .i'd been told that americans expect you to be on time .lynne and isat at a table in the corner of the restaurant and a waitress came and took our order.
the dinner was a great success.i talked a lot about sandi arabia and lynne told me all about herself.after two hours the waitress finally came and asked if we wanged one check or two.lynne said two.we went to the casher and lynne paid her check.i was embarrassed when the cashier gave me my bill.i had no money to pay for my meal.then i had an idea.i oretended to look for something in my pockets and said,"oh!i forgot my money.can iball my roomate,please?"the cashier showed me where the phone was and i quickly callde my roomate.in a few minutes he arrived with some money,but he couldn't hide how he felt.he laughted all the way home.
now,i tingk it's funny too.but at that time i was terribly embarrassed.i thought that an invitation to have dinner meant the same thing in the united sates as in my country.i guess you have to understand that your customs are only your customs.when you visit aforeign country,you have to learn about their customs,too

当我准备去见lynne的时候,我的室友提醒我最好带上一点钱,可我没听进去.我想既然是lynne邀请我,那么她一定会付账的.
我很准时的到了那个餐馆,因为别人告诉我美国人都希望对方能够按时到达.lynne和我坐在餐馆角落的一张桌子旁,之后一个服务员来为我们点餐.晚餐真是太棒了.我谈了一大堆关于沙特阿拉伯的事,而lynne告诉我很多关于她自己的事.2个小时后服务员走了过来,询问我们是个自付帐还是由一个人结帐.lynne说分开付.我们一起走到收银台,lynne付了她的那份.而当收银员把我的账单给我的时候,我感到很尴尬,因为我没有带钱.接着我想到了一个办法.我假装在自己的口袋里寻找着什么,然后我说：
“噢,我忘了带钱了.我能给我的室友打个电话吗?”那个收银员告诉了我电话的位置,然后我急忙给我的室友打了电话.几分钟之后,他带着钱赶到了,可是他没办法掩饰他想笑的感觉.回家的路上他一直在笑我.
如今我也觉得这件事很好笑,可当时我真的非常尴尬.我以为在美国和在我自己的国家一样,邀请了别人就意味着由邀请人来买单.我认为你们都应该知道,自己的习惯只是自己的.当你去拜访别的国家时,你同样需要去学习别人的文化习惯.
