My Christmas trip to Florida
HELLO FOLKS ! My name is Kuba Ornatek and I will tell you about my Christmas trip to Florida !
Florida is one of 50 states in the USA . It is important to point out that America is not just another place geographically , but also a completely different place culturally . Let me give you an example . Imagine , you are entering a supermarket in Warsaw . Although it is of course possible that someone will welcome you with a calm " hello ", usually nobody really cares and you will not hear a single word . goal is to see as much as possible . Therefore , we always rent a car and drive around . That ’ s what happened this time as well . We landed in Miami which is the biggest city in the state of Florida and we immediately went to a car rental company . I chose a great Ford Mustang and I pictured myself driving this car at the seaside , with the loud music on and hair blowing in the wind . ( Just my mum ’ s and sister ’ s hair to be precise because mine is too short and my dad is unfortunately bald .) But then the owner of the company shattered my illusions and told me to get out of the car , and my parents chose a different one . Life is not fair , is it ?
It ’ s not like this in the United States . As soon as you open the door , numerous workers will welcome you with a loud and very enthusiastic HELLO or HELLO FOLKS
if you are with a bigger group . Afterwards you will almost certainly hear the question " HOW ARE YOU
TODAY ?". I must admit that it made me feel very nice and special at the beginning . It is nice that workers actually cared about my mood , right ?
Well , unfortunately I quickly realized that that wasn ’ t
the case . It is just their habit to ask customers that question . And the only answer they want to receive is " GOOD , THANKS . AND YOU ?". So again : bear in mind that ...
Your real mood doesn ' t matter . If you are angry because of another bad grade in English or sad because you didn ' t catch any Pokemons today - do not tell them . Just smile and pretend you are happy , just like they do all the time .
After renting a car ( which was ugly and way worse than a Ford Mustang ) we drove to our first destination : Key West . I will now try to describe how this place looks .
Imagine an island in the middle of the ocean . And now imagine there is a bridge that leads to another island . And then imagine there is one more bridge , and one more island . And the case repeats about 1700 times !
Such cultural differences are very interesting but I should rather move to Florida ' s itself now .
Whenever I travel with my parents and my sister , our
