People enjoy taking trips.But what are the reasons they leave home?One reason is for education.People travel because they want to broaden their horizons to learn about other people and other places.They are curious about other cultures.When people are tourists, they get a quick look at different ways of living.Even a short look at another kind of lifestyle is an important lesson.On a trip, a person can learn directly by visiting museums and historic spots.What does a tourist who sees the art museums, visit the historical places and other scenic spots in Paris and shops along the River Seine learn?He gets a vivid picture, a real life of one of the French people.He learns about their attitudes, and how they feel about business, beauty and history.What about the tourist who goes to Hong Kong?Does he get the same information that he could get from a book?He might read that Hong Kong is crowded, and that there is less than 200 square meters of space for each person.But seeing and feeling the lack of space will impress him much more.He might read that there are nearly 200 vehicles for every kilometer of roadway.But the sight of so many vehicles parked along the roadside would be a much more vivid lesson.The tourist to Hong Kong will never forget the contrast:the straight vertical lines of tall modern buildings and the moving lines of boats that people live in.

     That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was walking home 
at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was 
still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at 
night at the same time. 
     As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become 
too much for me. As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began 
running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still 
out except a few sad-looking homeless peopl e under blankets.
     About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to 
see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the 
noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and 
unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.
     Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired any more. I ran out of the door and back to where I'd heard the 
noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.
     Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to 
me. When a voice called from the inside , "Alisa Camacho?" I thought I was dreaming. How could this 
man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look 
in his eyes. "Is this what you're looking for?" he asked, holding up a small square shape.
     It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn't get much sleep that night, but I had got my 
wallet back. I also had got back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn't be a bad 
place as long as people were willing to help each other.
