Excited for my journey, I packed all the necessities except the 1 .While the convenience of the Internet was definitely a contributing factor to my 2 not to take with me the few expensive kilograms of out-of-date information, this was not the only reason why I decided to fly alone.To be honest, my main 3 with the guidebook is that I find it 4 the pleasure of a journeylike bossy aunt who is always telling you what to do, 5 she doesnt always know what is the best.Experience has taught me that there is an obvious 6 between a tourist and traveler.While waiting in a queue, I met a man who had a checklist. He showed me his list of “Top 20 Things To Do in Italy” and 7 off in a loud American accent that hed seen everything Italy has to offer in just four days.The problem I had with this mans 8 to travelling was that he was too 9 information provided by his guidebook. He was lost in the 10 attractiveness of the “must-sees” and 11 to all the wonders and adventures that might happen during the 12 trip.So, 13 any guidebook, I traveled to Estonia, the tiny Baltic country bordering Russia. In the 14 of advance plans as guidebooks would suggest, I had no choice but to turn to some friendly faces for advice. I 15 myself first and then asked them what was happening around the town.

That is a lot of unused cars blocking a lot of busy streets.Simple physics explains why ride-sharing vehicles are causing, not curing jams, said Jarrett Walker, a public transport policy expert who has advised hundreds of cities about moving people.“Lots of people are deciding that, Oh, public transport is just too much trouble this morning, or whenever, which causes a shift from it,” he told the BBC“That means moving people from larger vehicles into smaller ones, which means more vehicles to move the same people. Therefore, more traffic.”Data gathered about ride-sharing drivers illustrates how they contribute to congestion(塞车), said Prof. Christo Wilson, a computer scientist at Northeastern University who has studied the services. “You can look at the traffic pattern for the Uber vehicles and it perfectly matches the peaks for the
