4. 入住修道院
Even though the only thing holy about us is our socks, we love this idea. A book called "Good Night & God Bless," by Australian Trish Clark, explains how to find inexpensive, clean, safe and well-located accommodation in the convents and monasteries of Europe. Learn more atwww.goodnightandgodbless.com.
即使你不是信徒,也可以寻找修道院作为你旅途的落脚点VDb+P,83U9NI[u1jy。澳大利亚作家崔西.克拉克写过一本叫《晚安上帝保佑》的书,里面就专门提到如何在欧洲寻找干净、安全、地理位置极佳的修道院作住宿);f!O[vw2bs。想了解更多信息,请参考网站www.goodnightandgodbless.com.
Convents and monasteries often charge a stipend... and not all of them are low-budget. If, though, you're willing to offer your services and do some work in exchange, the 'powers that be' may be willing to cover your keep. You'll find listing of worldwide monasteries atwww.deoestgloria.com.
通常来讲,修道院会收取一点费用....不是所有的修道院都是提供便宜的住宿D.ANNM],V7。但是如果你愿意在修道院里做点工作作为你住宿的交换,也许修道院的主人会愿意让你免费享用住宿的C6Ap~s]Dbd]AE1^
If it's a totally free stay you're after, you'll have the best luck at Buddhist monasteries, which traditionally don't charge for accommodation. Many, though, limit first-time visitors to one week and reservations are required. You're also required to participate in community life (no coming and going as you please) so don't think of this as a hotel stay but as a 'working vacation.'
如果幸运,你可以到佛教僧人僧院找到全免费的住宿nRw2@x~Q]=yo#r#iS4[&。佛教僧院的传统规矩就是不收取住客的费用zw.|Dft8rjaCB)&~^XqC。很多僧院可提供长达一周的住宿,但是必须提前预定_KA94FUXKD。住宿期间住客常常要求参加宗教活动k+Q#E4I_!-XK[Fi(lG*。(不是想起就去,想走就走的)所以,不要把这里当成宾馆,如果想住这里,就必须用自己的劳动进行交换C;hQfJwY%S0z[Ju1

住进本地人家

5. 住进本地人家里
This may be the very best way to immerse yourself in the local language, culture, and customs. Homestays are often offered by language schools, but you needn't be enrolled in classes to take advantage of these low-cost local accommodations.
How to find a room for let? Usually, it involves pounding the pavement once you've landed in a new locale. Ask locals--especially those with storefront businesses. They often live behind the shop and may have a room for rent.
这个方法估计是了解到旅游地风土人情最好的方法了吧7y.FM+r[PAPnU#。一般来讲,当地的语言学校会提供这种住宿,但你没有必要为了这样的住宿环境去报名去参加语言学习6+IX#|fbIUs+vqB82。那么怎样才能找到本地家庭住宿呢?这就需要你在到了旅游地以后到处打听,特别是到那些本地的街店去打听d2X&cT;,DoEV7。很多街店的主人在店面后有自己的房子,说不定就有空房子租给你wDQVc&DvTNMy]9
You can also check public bulletin boards and libraries, local newspaper classifieds, and inquire at language schools. And before you leave home, try searching in-country Craigslists and Internet forums, and e-mailing local language schools to ask for recommendations. The Warren Hardy Spanish School in Mexico's San Miguel de Allende, for example, posts a list of host families and rooms for rent
你也可以通过网络查看公告,或是到图书管理查看相关资料,还可以通过本地的报纸等方式查找是否有本地家庭愿意租房VHe~oWbdUdYbYG。在出发前,你可以查寻当地广告,或是联系当地语言学校,问问他们是否有可以推荐你到某家本地人家投宿(qE@uiFPcbG~1OIW6S@。比如:在墨西哥的西班牙沃伦哈迪语言学校就会公开本地愿意收留游客的家庭的信息|*W||L4z.C3JLC-
