出发去旅游：23个实用的旅行小贴士

16. Use guidebooks sparingly. I recommended Yelp because it allows you to discover a few places off the beaten path. Guidebooks only presents you with tourist spots; even those that advertised themselves as being off the beaten path.
慎用旅行指南。我推荐使用Yelp，因为它能带你发掘一些不落俗套的好去处。旅行指南只包括旅游景点，有些甚至是广而告之宣称自己“不落俗套”的地方。

17. Use the local language as much as possible. It reflects well not only on you, but also on Americans/your nationality in general. It shows you are willing to make the effort, which can work in your favor in some situations.
尽量使用本地语言。这不仅反应你的个人态度，也能大体展现美国人/你的民族的性格。这说明你愿意努力尝试，有时能为你省去不少麻烦。

18. Have a souvenir list prepared, and stick to it. This will save you money and prevent you from purchasing something that “you’ll find someone to give to another time”.
先备好纪念品列单，然后严格按照列单购买。这可帮你省钱，以免你买下一些大众类俗物。

19. Eat locally only. Save McDonalds, if you have to eat it in any location, for when you’re home. Trying the local cuisine will save you more money and allow you to experience new and flavorful meals.
尝试本地食物。像麦当劳这种任何地方都能见到的店，还是算了吧。品尝地方菜不仅划算，还能经历崭新的味蕾之行。

20. “When in Rome, do as the Romans” is a general saying that I like to translate it as, “don’t be a stubborn traveler, and get out of your comfort zone”. If a country advises modest dress, for example, follow through. It can even ensure your safety as a foreigner.
俗话说：入乡随俗。用我的话来说，就是“不要刻板固执，一定得走出自己的舒适区”。打个比方，如果某个国家倡导朴素着装，那你也跟着有模学样吧。作为外国人，这能让你更加安全。
