Text A    Tourists
         It is small wonder that the tourist is a busy man. He no sooner sets foot on foreign soil than he is rushed to his hotel and thence is immediately taken on a conducted tour of the city by night. In the morning, he go through another arduous course of sightseeing. He has barely had the chance to recover, or indeed, to find out exactly where his hotel is located, before he is off again to yet another part of the country. It is not even a bird’s-eye view he gets. Rather, it is a snapshotview. He is given about half an hour on each famous site and has just about enough time to  take photographs, which he can sort out when he gets home. In the perpetual race against time, he is forever sending postcards to his friends depict wonderful views of places he never even knew existed.
      No fortnight in the year passed quite so quickly. travel-worn , the tourist eventually arrives home proudly displaying his collection of passport- stamps. Truly rested, he is back at the office on Monday with a year’s work ahead of him before he will have the opportunity to sally forth again.
