A new city may be exciting, but a move to a new city can be difficult. Here are a few ways to get to know a new city and its people. Buy a guidebook( 旅游手册 ) before you get to the city. Read the guidebook and look for interesting places to go. When you get there, buy a city map. Look at the map and find a park. Buy a newspaper and read it in the park, or just watch the people. Look back at the guidebook, find the interesting places on your map, and make plans to visit them. Buy a bus map. On sunny days, ride buses and look out a window. Talk to people. A bus stop is a good place for a conversation with a stranger( 陌生人 ). Taxi drivers know a lot about their city. Take taxis and ask the drivers about interesting neighborhoods ( 聚居区 ) in the city. Walk around the neighborhoods. Go shopping at the stores. Find a good restaurant and eat delicious new food. If you love sports, go to a game and talk to other people. If you are interested in museums, spend a few hours there on a rainy day.
