3 . A lot of travelers who are going to new cities are often told to begin their trips by a bus tour. This thinking is that they can then go to the places that_______them. But that is wrong. What you see from the inside of a moving bus is_______and removed from the real sights, sounds, and smell outside. So the best way to experience any place is on foot and with absolutely no travel plan._______go wherever your feet and your interests_______you.

You will not only get to the_______sites that are on the bus tour—the museums, the monuments, city hall—but you will have seen much more. You will have_______the present life of the city.

But there is a problem: What if I got lost? No one ever gets_______lost in a major city. At first you can find your way back to a well-known place. If it frightens you to be “lost” , just find a taxi and go back to where you started ; however, the_______things can happen if you get lost. You can_______at a sidewalk cafe to sit and have a rest. You can ask the local people near you. And__________they don’t speak your language, your trip becomes more memorable because of the__________. Here are a few more ways to get the most out of your travel.

First, know before you go.__________a few hours before your trip learning about the history and culture of your destination.

Second, move around like a local. Use the subways and buses of the city you are__________. You will not only save money, but also learn how people really live.

Third, check the bulletin boards. Sometimes you can find advertisements for free concert, and__________fun activities on bulletin boards around universities.
