You are going to hear some parts of a travel log when a man takes a trip abroad. Supply the missing words while listening. July 11 I left on my trip today. Having been overseas before, I felt somewhat at ease with the idea of traveling ______, particularly since I lived in Asia (for) a number of years. However, others on the trip with me felt some apprehension about getting _____ (something quite natural) and ________ suggested immunizations before leaving. July 12 In the first city I visited, I traveled _________ by bus to have dinner and then went out to visit some of the local ____. I was surprised at the number of people selling their goods in different ____________, and I quickly figured out the custom of haggling over the _____ before you buy something. And even if you feel you’re getting a good ____, you might try walking away from the _________, and there IS the chance that the shop owner will call you back and even ______the price more in an attempt to get you to purchase something. July 14 No matter where I found myself today, I noticed a number of people who just _____ at me as I walked by, like I was an alien from another _______. Although it felt somewhat disquieting at first (particularly in the swimming pool ______ room), I realized that my ________ was perhaps an oddity with so few foreigners in that area. In fact, the people were just curious, and I was even able to __________ a few conversations with some of the _______, giving them opportunities to practice their English. In the end, I came to the conclusion that such _________ gave me a chance to be an _________ ambassador for my country. July 16 Every day brings new discoveries, and I’m learning how to navigate the __________. I found that ________ the road isn’t as easy as it seems. Bicycles, buses, people, and taxis ____ the streets, dodging each other with constant narrow ______, yet in many instances, the flow remains ________. And, in spite of the seemingly chaotic conditions, people go about their business as if, well... , everything were so ______ and blase. I, on the other hand, tried to dart in and out of ______ to cross streets, weaving back and forth, to get to the other side. It was a little _____ at first, but I quickly got the knack of it. July 23 I am preparing to return back home tomorrow, and one thing I have discovered... something more important than all of my other experiences... has been that there are often more _________ than ____________ between cultures. Regardless of language and culture, all people have a ______ for friendship that _______ any cultural boundaries. The people I have met have been wonderful ______ and friends, and I will _______ every moment of the trip.
