When I travel, I always like to try something new. I was in Portland, Oregon, with some students from my university. Friday was a hot day, and they wanted to have ice cream. The nearest place was a Vietnamese take-out restaurant. I saw a sign for an avocado milk shake. At first, I wasn’t sure. It didn’t sound good to me. Then someone who lived in Portland said that it was good, so I tried it. It was a little sweet but very refreshing. Then next time I see it, I will order it again. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)

Have you ever seen a Segway? It has two wheels, and you stand on it when you ride. When I was in San Francisco the last time, I noticed a group of about 10 people on Segways. They were on a guided tour. I checked on the Internet and found a site for Segway tours. They have 2- and 3-hour tours in four American cities. You can also go on a Segway tour in Paris, Vienna, Berlin and Budapest. I really want to try it once.  (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
