Travelers to new cities are often told to start their trip with a bus tour. It is said that they can then get a full view of the places that   36   them. Nonsense! What you see from the   37   of a moving bus is   38   and completely removed from the real sights, sounds, and    39   outside. Be adventurous! The best   40   to experience any place is on foot and with absolutely no travel plan.   41   go wherever your feet and your interests   42   you. You finally will get to the   43   sites as you are on the bus tour―the museums, the monuments, the city hall --- but you will have seen much more. You will have   44   the present life of the city.

“But what if I get lost?” people might ask. No one ever gets   45   lost in a major city.

At first, you can find your way back to a(n)   46   location. If it   47   you to be “lost”, just find a taxi and go back to where you started. However,   48   things can happen if you get lost. You can   49   at a sidewalk café to sit and relax. You can ask the local people at the next table about the directions. And   50   they don’t speak your language, your trip becomes more memorable because of the   51  . Here are a few more ways to get most out of your travel.

Know before you do.   52   a few hours before your trip learning about the history and culture of your destination. This will help you understand what you’re seeing.

Move around like a local. Use the subways and buses of the city you’re   53  . You’ll not only save money, but you’ll also learn how people really live.

Check the bulletin boards (布告牌). Sometimes you can find advertisements for free concerts and   54   fun activities on bulletin boards around universities.

So next time you see a poster advertising an introductory   55   tour, save your money. Instead, wander on your own. I promise you a time you’ll remember with great pleasure.
