How to Enjoy Your Family
Everyone has at least a little family drama, and you should still love your family no matter how many challenges are brought upon you. If you really trust your family, you should know they will always be there for you.
Look back on the previous moments that you have had with your family. Your friends are a big part of your life, and even though they aren't related to you, that doesn't mean you can't call them your family.
Make sure they know how you feel. Tell them that there have been things bothering you for a while, and you just want them to understand. If you tell them how you feel, then maybe they will give you more respect.
If you are a teenager, remember that they are the ones that provide you a home and food. If they weren't there, then neither would you. There are a large number of fun things you can do with your family.
Spend more time with your family. Have a "family game night". Go to see a movie, go out to dinner, go on vacation and so on.

How to Be a Good Tourist
We travel not only for work but also for fun and learning. New restaurants, galleries, temples and new architecture…These places are homes for people like us who live and work there. How would you want visitors to behave in your own home? Think about it. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} There are many ways of doing this without sacrificing our own holiday.
Do your homework. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Guides will help you when you get to the site, but is that the best place to go? Is it popular only because the one-day tourist can see it easily or because it is really a worthwhile place to visit? You'd better check it out.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Don't go to your hotels for meals. Walk around, even if in the streets closest to your hotel. Eat in local restaurants. Talk to the locals. Learn a few in the local language and use them. You will surely get a smile from the hotel staff and street sellers.
Help preserve the sites. Most of the sites you visit may be visited by millions of people a year, so care needs to be taken to allow others to enjoy them as well. Some of these monuments are so old and fragile that they are sensitive to the touch of hands or bags and shows. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} This way, you don't encourage the use of those plastic bags that fly all over many sites.
And here's the big one—good manners are nearly universal. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} If that doesn't sound like you,then give the world a break and stay home.
