When you sit down to plan your holiday, the first step is to make sure you’re very clear about what you want to get out of it. Do you want an immersion in culture, or do you want to simply recharge your body batteries? Do you want to read a sack of novels or tango till dawn? Do you want extensive family bonding time or time for every member of the family to try things on their own?
81._________
Get a good guidebook or two and read up on the culture, history and attractions of the destination. Surf the Internet for more information; read local publications online. The more you know, the better you’ll be able to appreciate the place and choose from the many options it presents. And the better you’ll understand all the new things―sights, issues, people, rituals you encounter.
82._________
Take clothes that are adaptable and cram everything you need into a carry-on bag if you can. Your heart will soar when you get to skip a line at the check-in counter when you arrive and breeze by passengers waiting for their bags.
83._________
Remember that the best moments of just about any trip are the unexpected ones. Leave plenty of time to visit an irresistible shop, have a long chat with an old-timer at a café or go on an impromptu day trip with new-found friends to a secret local spot.

Eat where the locals eat; shop where they shop. Ask the hotel clerk for recommendations. On my last trip to Hawaii, I heard about a neighbourhood hula festival from a hotel clerk. I feasted on homemade bread and fried chicken, and watched a heart-warming hula. It’s one of my most treasured memories. Open yourself up to the locals and you’ll find your most precious souvenirs.
2、 If you travel around the world, you will be surprised to find just how different the foreign customs can be 50 your own.
A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there 51 it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be 52 for washing yourself. Also in India, you might 53 a man apparently shaking his head at another and assume that he is disagreeing. But in many 54 of India a shake of the head is a gesture that shows agreement or acceptance. Nodding your head when you are offered a 55 in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty. In that country you shake your head to indicate "yes" ― a nod indicates "no". The Arabs are 56 for their hospitality(好客). At a meal in the Arabic countries, you will find that any drinking vessel(器皿)is filled again 57 again as soon as you drain it. The way to 58 that you have had enough is to take the cup or glass in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.
In Europe it is quite usual to 59 your legs when sitting talking to someone, even at an important meeting. Doing this when meeting an important person in Thailand, however, could 60 him or her unhappy. It is considered too informal an attitude 61 such an occasion. Also when in Thailand you are 62 supposed to touch the head of an adult ― it's just not done. In Japan, it is quite usual for 63 to plan evening entertainment for themselves and leave their wives at home. In Europe such attitudes are disappearing.
Customs vary from country to 64 . Visitors may be at a loss as to what to do in a foreign environment. In such circumstances, the rule is: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
