1 . Late that afternoon I took the train back to Sydney. There I found another surprise waiting for me. My room had been given to somebody else and they had no room for me. Harkin had known my travel plans and had arranged everything; how could he have booked the room only for three days? There was nothing to be done but to find another hotel. The waiters were happy to find me a new hotel, and when I said that I was happy to stay at the Airport, thinking it might be cheaper than staying in the city, they suggested the Holiday Inn at the airport. There was one small matter: the room rate was $300 per night. The best hotel in Katoomba had wanted only$145. I asked if there were anything cheaper they might suggest but they warned that most hotels would already be full by this time.

The hotel was far from the train station, so I'd best take a taxi, at $25. On the way to the Holiday Inn, we passed a hotel just two blocks from the Holiday Inn that advertised a room rate   of $104. At the desk I asked if their room rate could go down a lot. “No, this is a 4­star hotel，”the waiter told me. “In that case，” I replied, “I'll just walk the two blocks to the cheap hotel.”But she warned me that they were probably full and that if I didn't take the room, it might not be available if I came back. Finally，I decided to take the room.

The room itself was big, but the air conditioning couldn't keep up with the Australian heat. I couldn't get to sleep until about 1：00 am.

Socialize with strangers.     4     But when you’re traveling, you have to talk with others.

You’ll find plenty of people willing to recommend new places or share their experiences.

Be proud of how far you’ve come. Things are not always going as you like. There is nothing better than some positive words to make yourself calm and confident that things will get better and you’re doing the right thing.     5     Don’t ruin all the progress you’ve been making.

All in all, anxiety can strike anytime. Positive thoughts and preparedness can help you go on and get lost in a new culture — you’ll be glad you did!

Have you ever been to Wuzhen? It is so beautiful a village that I had already visited it many times.

Locating in Jiaxing, Zhejiang province, it has a history of about 6,000 years. Like many small towns in the southern area, which has a lot of small bridges going through clean streams. Local people live in old houses, they are very friendly. During the day, you can walk or sit on a boat to enjoying the natural scenery along the stream. The scene at night is attractively as well. There are all kinds of round and square light. Every time I look at the pictures for which I took, I will remember the water, the bridges and the houses. I love an amazing water country!

5 . Summer is the perfect time to relax. As you plan for your trip, here are some tips on how to protect yourself.     1    

Fight against the mosquitoes in the hot spots.

There are many mosquito-borne illnesses in tropical regions, which are traditionally vacation hot spots. Therefore, mosquito repellent（驱蚊剂）that contains DEET should be an essential item in your travel bag.

    2    

In lesser-developed countries there is less equipment for clean water and public health. If you can't avoid unhealthful water, make sure you bring along a tea or coffee—making pot that will boil water for you. You’d better buy a case or two of water and check that all bottle caps are sealed to assure the bottled water isn't just a refilled bottle of dirty tap water.

Always protect your feet.

It's best to wear slippers in the shower, but if you must be barefoot, put a towel down on the floor.    3    You should never walk barefoot in any area of a foreign country, including your hotel room.

Be sure to eat safe fruits.

    4     They may have been washed in the same water, or wiped with the same rag used to clean work surfaces in kitchens. The best advice is to bring your own peeler（削皮器）so that you know that something clean has been applied to the fruit.

Enjoy the smell of roadside stands, not the food.

Unless the food is piping hot when served, it’s best to stay away from roadside stands, no matter how good the smell of the food might be. If you are concerned about whether a restaurant is clean, order the food to go.     5    

A．Don't trust the local water

B．Any fruit served fresh may be polluted

C．Look out for any water not served in a bottle

D．The boxes may be cleaner than the plate or fork on the table

E．You should know how to keep yourself away from dirty fruits

F．They are necessary to avoid coming back with a major illness from your trip

G．Parasites（寄生虫）can enter the skin of your feet and travel to different parts of the body
