Traveling can be expensive. But there are some ways to save money when traveling.
Look for city tourism cards. With the card, you can pay less at restaurants and shops. You don't have to wait for a long time at busy attractions. You might even get free tickets to top tourist attractions.
Don't get the best room. How long will you stay in your room? Will you just be sleeping there? Do you really need a bigger room with a good view? (景色)
Find a hotel outside a city. It can help you save money by choosing a hotel away from big tourist attractions.
Book(预定) a room with a kitchen. Although some people might not like to cook while on vacation, I don't mind making breakfast in my room. I'd rather eat breakfast and lunch at the hotel and then spend much money on a delicious supper.
Basketball, running and swimming are popular events (项目) at the Olympics. But there are also some events that are not as popular. Some are even very strange. Let's see if you have any knowledge about the following events.
Tug-of-war This event started in 1900 and left the Olympics in 1920. The team wins if they pull the rope past a certain point first. Interestingly, more than one team from a country can enter in this event. This makes it possible for one country to win several medals |

Rope climbing It first appeared as an Olympic sport in 1896. The climber who spends the shortest time reaching the top is the winner. The rope used to be 15 meters long. Years later, it was shortened to 8 meters, for some reason. After 1932, there was no rope climbing in the Olympics. |

Race walking In race walking, walkers have to win the race by walking. To make sure that they do not run, race walkers must have one foot on the ground at all times. Race walking has been an Olympic sport since 1904. Men enter in 20 kilometer and 50 kilometer races; women only race 20 kilometers. |
