1 . Central Park
Explore Central Park, one of the largest city parks in the world and one of the most famous symbols of New York. Let’s have a look at its main sights.
Central Park is New York’s largest city park and one of the biggest in the world, with an area of 843 acres (about 3.4km2). This park is home to man-made lakes, waterfalls, grass and wooded areas. You will also find the Central Park Zoo, among other attractions in this greenspace of New York.
Besides being the city’s primary green lungs, Central Park is also a favorite spot for many New Yorkers. It is perfect for sunbathing, going for walks, or doing any outdoor sports. Something that we found curious is seeing so many people running with their babies in prams (婴儿车).
On Foot or by BicycleTo get to know some of the wildest parts of Central Park we suggest walking. However, to get a general feel for the whole park, the best thing to do is hire a bicycle and enjoy the scenery.
If you decide to hire a bike, you will find lots of bike rental stores around Central Park that are not very expensive.

7 . Every day thousands of people travel across the world for different reasons. Whenever I've checked in for a flight, I've seen many travellers saying “I missed it” or “I forgot it”, etc. This happens because while packing our bags, we miss so many important things.
The baggage packing isn't a big job but many people see it as a messy job. I'll advise you to always pack your bags according to your trip. The baggage should be different according to the duration(持续时间)of your trip. You shouldn't carry unnecessary things or more than what you need.
If you're going on a business trip of not more than 2- 3 days, then make sure you don't carry more than a single bag. Pack 2—3 business suits, a night suit and also some casual(非正式的)clothes. You'll need casual clothes because you might get a chance to explore the place.
While on holidays of 5—6 days, you have to be very smart while packing your bag. First of all, check the climate of the place. If it's summer, then carry lightweight clothes and if it's winter, then you have to pack a sweater. For holidays, pack all the small things you'll be requiring. But don't carry too many things.
If you're going to a relative's place, then you can be a bit relaxed because if you miss something, you won't have to worry as your relative will be there to help you. But don't forget to buy gifts for your relatives. If the gifts are fragile, then pack them in a hard box and always keep them in between clothes. No need to carry too many clothes as you can wash your clothes at their place. This will also help you to shop more and more.

8 . Cheap Travel
You can pay a fortune to travel around the world. Or you can pay nothing at all. Here are some places you’ll never regret visiting. They won’t cost you a dime.
The British Museum, London (U.K.)
You need to go here to see the Egyptian mummies, the ancient Greek marbles and so many other treasures. It’s open every day, and unlike most other attractions in England that cost an arm and a leg, it’s completely free.
National Mall, Washington D.C. (U.S.A.)
You can walk a pathway from the Lincoln Memorial to the severe Vietnam Veterans Memorial and to the Washington Monument with other sights in between. Do you know you can go up in the elevator to the top of the Washington Monument? Tickets are free, but pay a small fee to reserve it in advance to avoid being disappointed.
Notre-Dame Cathedral, Paris (France)
This great treasure of the world simply can’t be missed. The great stained-glass rose window alone is worth the visit. The Sunday Mass with Gregorian chant was like stepping back in time. Admission is free every day, but you’re welcome to leave a donation. There are also free tours a few times each week. You’ll pay extra for tours of the bell tower or the crypt.
Tips: The Notre-Dame Cathedral was greatly damaged by a massive fire in April 2019. Please visit notredamedeparis.fr/en/ for more information regarding future visits to the cathedral.
National Museum of Ireland, Dublin and Mayo (Ireland)
Want to see bug bodies, gold ornaments, Viking artifacts and learn about rural Irish life? All four branches of this museum are free to visit, including museums devoted to archaeology, natural history, decorative arts and history and country life.

Leila's Hair Museum
Leila's Hair Museum has a lot of hair jewelry pieces from the Victorian period and earlier, dating all the way back to 1680. It even has pieces containing hair from Queen Victoria, US presidents and Marilyn Monroe.
Giant Shoe Museum
Located in the famous Pike Place Market of Seattle, Giant Shoe Museum is a single exhibition wall outside the Old Seattle Paperworks store. As a result, it brings a lot of business to the store. To see the museum's collection, visitors must look through a stereoscope to view a lot of big shoes.
Washington Banana Museum
Ann Mitchell Lovell really loves bananas. In fact, she loves them enough not only to run Washington Banana Museum, but also-to upload photos of the museum online so those who can't come to the physical location can still enjoy it.
Roswell UFO Museum
Exhibits include information on the Roswell incident of 1947, crop circles and other UFO sightings. Regardless of your personal opinion about UFOs, there's no doubt that the museum has been quite successful.
