One year ago, I traveled 15,000 kilometers from Australia to the US. I am from a beachside town in the 　16 of Sydney, and thought there would be almost no 　17 differences between my home country and my 18 . I was surprised at how wrong I was, and at 19 different the two countries could be.

The United States is 　20 in almost every aspect. The buildings are gigantic (巨大的) and so are the people who 　21 and work in them. At mealtimes, the portions (份額) often 　22 to me to be big enough for three or four people. I once 　23 a baked potato which turned out to be bigger than my head! This was a big 24 for me.

The longer I spent in the US, the more I started to 　25 smaller differences like the culture of 　26 in restaurants. In Australia we don’t tend to give a tip 　27 the service has been really excellent. In the US you tip for 　28 everything, even at the hairdresser. Waiters and shop assistants 　29 to be given 15 percent of the bill, although in places 　30 New York or Washington DC, a tip can be as much as 20 percent.

31 , I also became more wary (謹(jǐn)慎的) of believing the stereotypes (成見) I had heard at home as I traveled. Not all Americans are ignorant of geography, for example.

Despite this, certain stereotypes about places did seem to 　32 true for me. There is an immense (強(qiáng)烈的) sense of speed in New York. Everyone 　33 to and fro, and very seldom takes time to 　34 the moment. This is very different from the Australian lifestyle. Australians are laid back. Even in a major city like Sydney, we “Aussies” take time to “stop and smell the roses”---very different from our American counterparts.

Navigating (駕馭) the culture divide between Australia and the US was challenging at times. But I took up that 　35 and learned a lot from it. It was an adventure.
