What? No way. You've never been to one of those $5 museums and you're like, this museum has two things in it? Okay.

Okay. Well, just me then, apparently.

Yeah. Don't end up at a random bamboo theme park in China that has a really sketch roller coaster that you do your own breaking. But you know what? I kind of want to find those like off the beaten path type of places to visit. And some of them turn out kind of meh. But with that bamboo theme park, I actually had an amazing meal there looking at all these mountains. Honestly, a lot of bamboo.

Bamboo everything. But it was so sweet. It was like this little family restaurant there. So even if the attraction we went to wasn't the best, the meal there and the experience was something I'll always remember.

Yeah, and we don't want you to be the person that's standing in the middle of some random tourist square, angry, googling food near me, and ending up in the world's saddest tourist trap. You don't make good decisions when you're hangry, so we don't want that to happen to you. Exactly.

And part of that research is figuring out when they actually release the tickets so you can get them from the attraction itself and not having to buy it through a third party. I already made a mistake for my Italy trip, and my sister and I want to see the real David statue by Michelangelo. And I only thought about this maybe two weeks ago, and then...

I went to look up how to see the real statue and the tickets are already sold out the entire week. There are no time slots. There are still ways to get in. You can buy a skip the line ticket through a tour group. Those are expensive though. It was double the price. Yes, exactly. That's the price you pay when you did not look up this information beforehand.

So if there are any of those big ticket items, look up not only how much it costs, but when the tickets are released. And maybe if there are certain days that are cheaper, that might make it easier for you to go.
