Going it alone: tips for successful solo travel
一個人也開心:獨自旅行的小貼士
Take yourself out to dinner
帶自己出去吃晚餐
The thought of dining alone terrifies some people. The fear even has a name: solomangarephobia. But giving into it and relying on grab-and-go fast food when traveling alone is a crime against cuisine.
一個人吃飯的想法會讓某些人感到害怕。這種恐懼甚至還有個名字:solomangarephobia。但是向這種恐懼投降,獨自旅行時只吃方便快餐,是忽視美味佳肴的罪行。
"I hadn't realized the depth of flavors I could experience [with] nothing to occupy my mind beyond the plate in front of me and my thoughts," says New York Times food writer Mark Bittman on his website.
“我之前從沒意識到當腦海中沒有其他事情,只有面前的盤子和自己的想法時,我可以體驗到食物濃郁的味道。”紐約時報的美食作家馬克·比特曼在他的網站上講到。
It's also a good way to make new friends -- even if you didn't intend to. "The interesting thing is that you nearly always end up talking to the person next to you, so dining alone can be, ironically, a social experience," says London restaurateur Russell Norman.
