Americans spend their holidays in different ways. Some of them like to travel

abroad and get to know something about the foreign countries. For example, they may

go to China and learn about its old traditions and habits. However, this kind of trip is

not always pleasant. Firstly, it is not so convenient and secondly the service they

receive in foreign countries is not quite satisfying.

morning and get off a ship in the evening. They like to go across the country, from
