Original

No matter where I go, the motivation for me is always the same – to get some rest. So actually I’m not that kind of tourists, who would like to go as many scenic spots as possible. On the contrary, I may only plan to go to one or two place, such as gallery or bookshop. For the rest of time, my plan will only depend on my mood or just do nothing and let myself zone out for a while. Honestly speaking, compared to busy schedule, I would prefer to get up late, have a relaxed breakfast and then just walk round. It can be explained as an excuse that I’m too lazy to make a plan. But it cannot be denied that I can also save a lot of time and energy through this arrangement.

When the scenic spots are not the problem anymore, the only thing I should think before the trip will be hotel. A nice hotel is the most important thing for my trip. To some extent, hotel is just like my temporary home. So I guess it is worth to spend a little bit more time on it. After all, nothing can be more important than a good sleep for a do-nothing vacation. In addition, fancy hotels usually will provide good service, nice food and modern equipment, which will make the whole trip even more enjoyable.
