Laura is at the airport(机场) in London. It is 2 p.m. now. She waits for her flight(航班). Her flight is to Berlin, at 4 p.m. and it is two hours away. Laura walks around the airport and looks at the shops. She has a nice time.

An hour later, she wants to visit the bathroom. She searches for it, but she doesn’t find it. “Where is the bathroom?” she asks herself. She looks and looks but she can’t find it. She starts asking people where it is.

Laura: “Excuse me sir, could you please tell me where the bathroom is ?” Man: “You mean the restroom, right?” Laura: “No, I mean the bathroom.” Man: “Well, the restroom is over there.” He says and walks away. Laura doesn’t understand. She asks a lady: “Excuse me madam, could you please tell me where the bathroom is?” “The restroom is over there,” the lady answers and walks away. Laura is confused(困惑的). “What’s their problem? I need to use the bathroom but they send me to rest?! I don’t need a restroom! I need the bathroom!”

After a while Laura gives up. She feels tired of all this walking and asking. She thinks that maybe they are all right and she does need to rest. She walks to the restroom. Now she is surprised. She realizes a restroom is actually the same as a public bathroom!
