Why do tourists think that the first thing they should do when they visit a new place is go and
see cathedrals, museums and monuments? There are many things I like about traveling, but
queuing up to buy museum tickets then having your visit ruined by noisy tour groups is not one
of them. The things that make places special are all around the famous buildings, not inside
them.
My recent trip to India is a good example of this. By far the most interesting part of it was
getting to know people - bicycle-taxi drivers, policemen riding elephants and children trying to
earn some money by cleaning shoes. It was all so amazing that I didn’t need to do any 'proper
sightseeing.
I also have fantastic memories of Florence. It was a boiling hot day and the queue to the art
gallery was at least a kilometre long. Instead of joining it I sat in a shady square, ate a delicious
pizza and listened to a man singing opera songs to only a few listeners. If I had stuck to my
original plan I would have missed this experience.
One of the best things about travelling is creating memories to bring back. When I got back
home from a holiday in Malaysia, I made some of the dishes I’d tasted in the food market.
Maybe my results weren't as good as the real thing, but they reminded me of the places and the
people I'd met - far better than anything from a souvenir shop.

Why do tourists think that the first thing they should do when they visit a new place is go and
see cathedrals, museums and monuments? There are many things I like about traveling, but
queuing up to buy museum tickets then having your visit ruined by noisy tour groups is not one
of them. The things that make places special are all around the famous buildings, not inside them.
My recent trip to India is a good example of this. By far the most interesting part of it was
getting to know people - bicycle-taxi drivers, policemen riding elephants and children trying to
earn some money by cleaning shoes. It was all so amazing that I didn’t need to do any 'proper sightseeing.
I also have fantastic memories of Florence. It was a boiling hot day and the queue to the art
gallery was at least a kilometre long. Instead of joining it I sat in a shady square, ate a delicious
pizza and listened to a man singing opera songs to only a few listeners. If I had stuck to my
original plan I would have missed this experience.
One of the best things about travelling is creating memories to bring back. When I got back
home from a holiday in Malaysia, I made some of the dishes I’d tasted in the food market.
Maybe my results weren't as good as the real thing, but they reminded me of the places and the
people I'd met - far better than anything from a souvenir shop.
