  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 pm,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 pm,if not for twenty­four 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 shops.Well,here in Austria,it really is a day of rest.It's different,but it's a difference I could definitely get used to.
