TRAVELLING

Modern life is impossible without travelling. True, we often get tired of the same surroundings and daily routine. That's why sometimes we have to restore our mental and physical resources.

The best place of relaxation is one where you have never been before. To understand how true it is you should go to a railway station, a sea or a river port or an airport. There you are most likely to see hundreds of people hurrying to board a train, a ship or a plane.

So, it would be better to book tickets in advance. All you have to do is to ring up the airport or the railway station booking office and they will send your ticket to your place. On the eve of your departure you should pack your things in a suitcase. When the day of your departure comes you call a taxi and go to the airport or the railway station.

Travelling by train is slower than by plane, but it has its advantages. You can see the country you are travelling through and enjoy the beautiful nature. There is no doubt it's much more convenient to travel by an express train, because it does not stop at small stations and it takes you less time to get to your destination.

But if you are in a hurry and want to save your time you'd better travel by plane, because it is the fastest way of travelling.

Some people prefer to travel by ship when possible. A sea voyage is very enjoyable, indeed. But to my mind best way of travelling is by car, because you don't have to buy a ticket, you can stop wherever you wish, where there is something interesting to see.

But if you become home - sick and feel like returning home you realize that "East or West -- home is best"
