　　⑴When asked about why they go sightseeing, different people will offer different answers. ⑵Some people say they want something exciting and exotic, while others want to refresh and relax themselves. ⑶And still others go sightseeing to enrich their experiences and broaden their horizons.
　　⑷Despite these advantages, some of its disadvantages cannot be ignored. ⑸Once you are on the road, you'll encounter many nuisances. ⑹For example, your train may be too crowded. ⑺Though very expensive, you may find it hard to find a room in the local hotels. ⑻Your holiday may be spoiled by the illnesses on the journey. ⑼You may get lost in a strange city and can't understand a word of the local language. ⑽Worse still, your wallet might be stolen, and you can't find any friends or relatives to turn to.
　　⑾So you should be psychologically prepared for those inconveniences and do something about them. ⑿It is advisable that you take some medicines with you and book the room in advance. ⒀It would be of much help if you can learn a few words and sentences of the local language. ⒁And above all, remember to put your credit card apart from your wallet so that you can withdraw some money from a local bank in case your wallet is stolen.
