Give Directions in Different Places

In Japan, people use landmarks(路标) instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, "Go straight down to the corner. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} The post office is across from the bus stop.
In Kansas, America, there are no towns or buildings within miles. So instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distance. For example, people will say,"Go north two miles. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} "
People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions. They will often say, "Follow me." {#blank#}3{#/blank#}
Sometimes if a person doesn't know the answer to your question, he or she,like a New Yorker,might say,"Sorry,I have no idea."But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers "I don't know." {#blank#}4{#/blank#}They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. A visitor can often get lost in Yucatan!
