Sightseeing: What do you actually see?
I live in Ipswich. Ittasks a typical English city, very quiet and very traditional. When I go out in the morning, I say hello to all my neighbours, and very often we discuss our plans for the day with each other. Once I was on my way to the train station when I met one of my neighbours. "Where are you going?" an old lady asked. "Itaskm going to London." I answered. "Well", she said, "if you meet one Englishman there, give him my warmest regards." I didntaskt get her joke until I came to London. Then I realized that wherever I looked, I saw crowds of tourists. Although I was a tourist myself, I found other tourists very noisy and irritating. Then I started to think about it.
Most of us have been tourists at least once in our life. What is more important to you: to see as many sights as possible or to enjoy yourself? Do you want to impress your friends with your pictures and stories or do you prefer to get impressions of new places?
There are tourists who will not sleep well unless they have visited all the sights that are listed in the booklets. They take hundreds of pictures of everything they see. .Sometimes I think that ittasks more important to them to make a picture of a place than to learn about it. Some people however have a different approach to sightseeing. They do not put a task before them to do as much as they can. They choose a thing or two and devote a lot of time to it. For example, when they visit a picture gallery, they do not try to fit a maximum number of pictures into their visit but spend their time on one artist or even one picture.
I had a guest from America many years ago. She destroyed some of the stereotypes of American tourists I had.
She came to Moscow for a fortnight. Before visiting Moscow she spent a fortnight in St Petersburg and was already tired. I described some ideas of where we should go and what we should see. but she told me right away: "I am here to enjoy myself, and not to exhaust myself to death. And I am already tired."
She woke up at twelve, had a shower and a substantial breakfast. Then we chose a place or two to visit. We never visited more than two places of interest in one day. On the way to a sight we had long interesting conversations. She asked a lot and she talked a lot, too. I am not a good guide as I have a poor sense of direction and a bad memory for events. We got lost regularly, but it didntaskt matter. Everything was fun to her, even getting lost: these were interesting situations. After a while I needed to go to the countryside where my parents were staying. I was really surprised that she wanted to join me. "Itaskve done enough. Now I am going to sunbathe and swim. After all, Itaskm on holiday."
