This summer. I went for a budget trip(穷游). I visited Shandong with my father. What a special and surprising trip it was! My father and I only spent about 1,500 yuan on the trip. We tried some different ways to save money.
We didn't take planes because the air tickets were expensive. We didn't have enough money for air tickets. We decided to take trains. Hard seats were our first choice(选择). We chose the hard sleepers(卧铺) only when we were too tired. As for hotels, we chose to live in small and cheap hotels. We didn't want to spend money living in large and expensive hotels. We didn't eat out. We went to the shops to buy some vegetables and meat, and then we cooked meals in the hotel. We saved a lot of money in this way.
I learned a lot from the trip. I want to go for another budget trip next year. Would you like to go with me?
