Whether it’s one day off or a week, you don’t need to be among people to have a great time.     51     You can spend your holiday on your own doing something you have no time to do in your everyday life.

Eat your favorite foods. They can bring you much pleasure for sure. You can make a healthy meal at home. Cook something you love but usually don’t have time to make. Instead of having meals at home, you can also go to a local restaurant for something special. Eat it there, or bring it home.     52    

Stay away from technology. You may have a chance to find the real beauty of life. Maybe you can’t help playing with your smart phones all day while you are on holiday alone. Why not create more time to go hiking, fly kites or do some other outdoor activities?     53    

    54    You can go shopping, see a film, or take a class. Take your time to search for something even small that you want. Going to see a movie or a show alone can be a fun experience. Use your holiday as a chance to try something new like dancing or painting.

    55    Leave your worries behind and try to be a master of your own, but remember that nothing is more important than safety.

Table manners are very different in every country. For example, when you are in England you must not lift your soup plate to your mouth. This is very impolite. But when you are in Japan this is completely normal. Lifting your plate to your mouth in Japan is a traditional way of eating your soup. And also in Japan you don’t have to worry about making a noise when you drink it. It just shows that you really like the food! But it is not the same in Britain, so you shouldn’t make a noise when eating there.

In Britain, people don’t put their hands or arms on the table during the meal. But in Mexico, guests keep their hands on the table all the time. In fact, you should watch what your hands do very carefully. In Arab countries, it is impolite when you eat with your left hand, so don’t do it ! In all the cultures it is impolite to speak when you are eating.

In Ukraine you should not start eating first; you should wait for all the others to start eating with you. You also have to say “Please” and “Thank you” every time you ask for and get something. If you don’t like some food, don’t make faces and don’t say, “Yuk!I hate that!” The best way to avoid making mistakes in other countries is to watch the host and try to do as he does.
