B． I hated dinner partics. ButI decidedto give them anothar shot because I'm in LondonAnd my friend Mallery invited me. And because dinner parties in London are very differenfrom those back in New york. There, 'Tin having a dinner party' means: "I'm booklng a table for t2 at8 restaurant you can't afford and we'll be sharing the cheque evenly, no matter what you eat." Worse, in Manhanan there is always someone who leaves before the bijanives. They'll throw down cash, half of what they owe, and then people like me, who don'drink, end up paying even more. But ifI try to tree the same trick, the hostess will shou:"Where are you going?" And it's not likeI can say I have somewhere to go: everyone know shave nowhere to go

B．utin London, dinner parties are in people's homes. Not only that, the guests are aninteresting mix. The last timeI went to one, the guests were from France, India. Denmark and Nigeria; it was like a gathering at the United Nations.hI New York. the mix is less striking It's like a gathering at Blooming dale's,a well-known department store.

F．or New Yorkers, talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn and Queensi New York. But at Mallery's, whenI said thatI had been to Myanmar recently, people knew where it was.In New York people would thinkit wasa usual new club
