Everybody knows that it is dangerous to cross the street without looking both ways in China. However, I had a different experience in Berkeley, a beautiful city in California, US.

    I didn't know what to do when I had to cross the roadsmy first couple of days there：I wondered whether I should let the car go first or not？Based on my old experience back in China, I would certainly let the car go. "Who wants to be knocked down by a car？"I thought to.

    One day. I was checking for cars while I was waiting to go to the other side of the road. An SUV came fast toward me, so I stopped and. However, to my great surprise, the car stopped right in front of me. To be honest. I was a little confused because in China drivers usually try hard to drive asas possible to cross the road before people step out. Not knowing what to do for a moment, I saw no sign the car was going to move, so I offered a "signal" to let him go first.
