 Breakfasts around the world
 In Russia, breakfast is a big meal. Many people eat black bread or blinis - a kind of 
pancake. Sausages, fried eggs and cheese are typical accompaniments. Some Russians 
eat a cereal called kasha. This is usually eaten hot with a soft cheese or sour cream, 
rather than milk. The most popular drink is very strong black tea.
 In China, people eat breakfast very early in the morning. Dishes are different in 
every region, but the meal is usually similar to lunch or dinner - rice with vegetables or 
meat, pancakes, soup, and noodles. The Chinese do drink a lot of tea, but the don’t 
usually drink tea with breakfast.
 Breakfast isn’t a big meal in Greece. Most people start the day with a coffee, which 
is usually served black, in tiny cups, with or without sugar. They may have something 
small to eat as well such as fresh fruit and yogurt, or a grilled roll. 
 More common, however, is the Greek custom of a midmoming kolatsio or snack - 
often a pastry or bread with meat or cheese.
 The Australian breakfast is very similar to breakfast in the U.K - bacon, eggs, toast 
with butter and jam, cereal with milk, and tea or coffee. There are, however, some very 
Australian additions, such as toast with Vegemite, a black salty spread, or tropical fruits. However, travel and tourism have negative aspects. Planes, buses, boats and other 
means of transportation that carry travelers and tourists cause pollution. Moreover, 
some people do things on a holiday they would never think of doing at home. For 
example, many travelers use a lot of water and electricity when they stay in hotels. They 
forget to turn off the lights or ever leave televisions and air conditioning units on when 
they leave the room. On top of that, it is often difficult or impossible for travelers to 
recycle items, so they end up leaving large amounts of waste behind. That’s why it is 
important for people to travel wisely and respect the places they visit.
 There are ways you can travel and be environmentally friendly. Here are some tips 
to help you:
- Don’t throw rubbish on streets, beaches or in the countryside.
- Don’t use too much water or electricity.
- Taste the local and national dishes of the country.
- Buy local products or souvenirs.
- Don’t buy any products made from endangered species; sea turtle shells or bags made 
from reptiles or other animals.
