Yes, travel's about adventure, but at the beginning of the week, it may be wise to take it slow. An up-to-date guidebook can help you decide what to safely see and do while you get your bearings. Bring your headphones or a book along on thursday and friday; you might not feel like chatting with a fellow traveler. This weekend, whether there's a language barrier or not, take care and make sure that you're being understood. It may seem silly to ask something twice, but you might also get more information: or an insider tip: the second time around.
