Did you travel abroad during the National Day holiday? As it is becoming easier

to get visas(签证)to foreign countries, more and more Chinese people are traveling abroad during

the holidays. However, some countries are not so welcoming to Chinese tourists.

　 A recent survey of 5,600 people from five countries showed that the Chinese people are the

second most unpopular tourists, just behind the US citizens. What’s wrong with us ?

　 “The Chinese always like staying together and talking very loudly,” Dai Bin of the China

Tourism Academy told Chinese media .

　 In fact ,this is just the tip of the iceberg .Chinese tourists have a bad reputation(名声)

abroad for many reasons .

　 Zhang Minjie, a tour guide, was embarrassed when he led a group of Chinese tourists to Singapore . “A young man spit his gum out .When he was about to leave, the police caught him and fined him 20 Singapore dollars(102 yuan) ,” Zhang told Qianjiang Evening News.

　 Some Chinese also litter everywhere and jump queues .Some like to write on famous buildings .In Hong Kong ,many local people complain that tourists from the Chinese mainland spit and smoke in non-smoking areas .None of these problems help the reputation of Chinese people traveling abroad .However, there are still plenty of thoughtful Chinese tourists ,who behave respectfully when visiting famous places ,taking a few photos before moving on to the next spot .

　 Although we spend money to enjoy ourselves, it doesn’t mean we can do anything we want .All travelers should respect local customs and take care of the environment .

　　A thief entered the bedroom of the 30th President of the United States, who met him and helped him escape (逃脱) punishment(处罚).

　　The event happened in the early morning hours in one of the first days when Calvin Coolidge came into power, late in August, 1923 . He and his family were living in the same third-floor suite (套房) at the Willard Hotel in Washington that they had occupied (占居) several years before. The former President's wife was still living in the White House.

　　Coolidge awoke(醒来) to see a stranger go through his clothes, remove a wallet and a watch chain.

　　Coolidge spoke: “I wish you wouldn't take that. ”

　　The thief, finding his voice, said: “Why?”

　　“ I don't mean the watch and chain, only the charm (表坠) . Take it near the window and read what is impressed(印，刻) on its back, ” the President said.

　　The thief read, “ Presented to Calvin Coolidge. ” “ Are you President Coolidge?” he asked.

　　The President answered, “Yes, and the House of Representatives (众议院) gave me that watch charm. I'm fond of it. It would do you no good. You want money. Let's talk this over. ”

　　Holding up the wallet, the young man said in a low voice:“I'll take this and leave everything else. ”

　　Coolidge, knowing there was $80 in it, persuaded(说服) the young man to sit down and talk. He told the President he and his college roommate had overspent during their holiday and did not have enough money to pay their hotel bill.

　　Coolidge added up the roommate and two rail tickets back to the college. Then he counted out $32 and said it was a loan (借款) .

In China, the National Holiday is a big festival and it is to celebrate the founding of the People's Republic of China by Mao Zedong in 1949.Besides from the Spring Festival, the National Holiday is the only other week-long public break from school and work.

As one of the only opportunities  for workers to go home, visit their families or to travel around the country, all hotels, tourist attractions, trains, buses and airplanes around the country are completely packed with holidaying Chinese people.

Are you sorry for not traveling during the National Day ? If you stay at home at that time, I think you are very lucky. Why? Because there are too many people everywhere. In many places of interest in China, it’s too crowded to do anything.

Look at the picture. It was too crowded on the Great Wall on October 1st, 2012. You even couldn’t take photos for you or your friends. All that we could see were people. It was reported that there were about twenty people per meter on the Great Wall. My friends told me they could see nothing but many people on the Great Wall. “We couldn’t walk if the people in front of us didn’t walk,” he said. He showed us a photo on the Great Wall. In the photo, we hardly found him out, there were too many people.

So some people give the advice that we should not have the gold week any more. But other people say no about this advice. What’s your idea of it? Are you sorry now for not traveling during the gold week? I love staying at home more than traveling next National Day.
