Living abroad requires a small adjustment and balancing of cultures.Moving

from Scotland to Austria，the differences aren't so great，perhaps，as moving to Asia

or Africa.But things are still different enough to be unsettling (使人不安的)．

One of the first differences I noticed was the opening hours of shops here.During

the week，supermarkets close at 7：30 p．m.，at the latest.On Sundays，they aren't open

at all.On my first weekend here，I wasn't at all prepared for this.I planned to go into

town to pick up things I'd forgotten to bring.I wanted to get some groceries，too，after

a few days of eating out.A friend had warned me that nothing was open on Sundays，but I didn't realize she was serious.So，I wandered around town，coming across shop

after shop with doors closed.

I ate out again that Sunday，and I learned my lesson.To begin with，I thought it

was highly inconvenient.What if I ran out of milk in the evening，or wanted to buy

biscuits before bed？In the UK，I was so used to large supermarkets，which stayed

open until at least 10 p．m.，if not for twenty-four hours.But now，I have to buy food

every Saturday.“What do people do here on Sundays？” I asked my flatmate.She just

looked at me.“Nothing，” she replied.

If it's inconvenient，then there's also something nice about it.Who needs to be

able to buy soup or soap or bread twenty four hours a day？No one really needs to of

course.But it's nice，too，to have Sundays completely free from material

worries.Sundays here are all about relaxing for hours in coffee shops and spending

time with friends.Sunday is a day of rest.

People in the UK often complain，“I thought Sundays were meant to be a day of

rest！”，while rushing to work，doing chores(家庭杂务) or standing in queues in 第 2 页 共 13 页 shops.Well，here in Austria，it really is a day of rest.It's different，but it's a difference

I can definitely get used to.

Shakespeare once called the English countryside “the precious stone set in the

silver sea”—and he is not the last to sing high praises of its beauty and historical

charm.

The countryside is particularly beautiful during the summer，especially in August

and September.As one travels the countryside，you'll find more of its treasures：so

many plants and animals，romantic castles，secret gardens，and villages so unchanged

in the last decades that they seem to have been caught under a fairy's spell.

Must-sees include Derbyshire，called “the heart of England” and home to the

National Park.The great peaks were the muse (创作灵感) of the Bronte sisters (and if

you love the book Jane Eyre，you can visit North Lees hall，where the real Eyre

family once lived)．

History lovers will enjoy a visit to Lincoln city (its most famous son is Lord

Alfred Tennyson)．It is also known for its cathedral，the charming tea shops，a small

castle.One would never guess its violent past—built by the Romans，it was once a

center for arrow (箭) making.

Harry Potter fans shouldn't miss a visit to Alnwick，which is better recognized as

the “Hogswarth” in the movies. 第 3 页 共 13 页 Let's not leave out the Wessex region，where one can see one of England's

greatest mysteries，Stone Henge.You can also go to the City of Bath，which has been

famous for its medicines springs since the Roman times.Other popular attractions

include Salisbury Cathedral，the landscaped gardens of Stourhead，and the cobbled

(用鹅卵石铺的) streets of Shaftesbury.This is also home to Oxford，one of the

world's most famous universities.

Art lovers will also like a visit to East Anglia，whose landscapes inspired the

painter Constable (he was born in Dedham village)．This is also home of the

University City of Cambridge，and the famous architectural attraction，King's College

Chapel.Be sure to visit the aircraft museum of Duxford.
