I lived for a while in a town in central Sudan. To get around town，people used small open-backed trucks passengers would climb on the back， and during the Journey(旅程) ,a boy would collect the fares(车费). One time， I noticed that two men sat in silence during the Joumey，but when they got off the truck，they suddenly started to shake hands and ask about the health of each other‘s families，so it was clear that they knew each other well .But why did they not talk to each other during the journey?

Later I told it to B Sudanese friend, and he explained that in Sudan, if you meet a friend on a bus or truck, It is normal to offer to pay his fare. You will have an argument(争论), and finally one of the two of you will pay for both. Probably, the two men in my story couldn’t afford to pay two fares, so they pretended not to notice each other until they got off the truck. -Jonathan Cox teacher. Britain
