1 . A lot of travellers who are going to new cities are often told to begin their trips with 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 smells 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, the 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 get 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 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.
