1. Taste this city
2. City of many epithets
3. Different from the past
4. Skyscrapers and amusement parks
5. City as a shooting area
6. Middle Ages authenticity
7. Walk and bathe
8. Influence and history

A. Cape Town has had an ever-changing reputation as a city. Burdened with the legacy of apartheid, the capital of South Africa has reinvented itself as a vibrant city with new and exciting restaurants opening constantly, trendy shops, and a bustling art and culture events calendar. There is plenty to partake in and see around here, and the city centre is set up in a grid making it easy to get around without getting lost as you walk around.

B. The city that never sleeps, New York has something different to offer at every corner. While public transportation is easy to figure out and available everywhere, the city is also completely walkable. In fact, an entire day can be spent just walking around Central Park, discovering all the different monuments and buildings there. At the same time, there is also a lot of history in New York City. New York has been the birthplace of many movements and has impacted culture in a way many other cities have not.

C. The best way to get to know the city of Paris is on foot. Each alleyway offers an enchanting cafe to stop by and sip a glass of wine or indulge in a fresh pastry or bread. Many would say the best way to experience Paris is through your mouth, as the food and wine here is unlike any other. But the history is just as enticing. Take a tour of all the prominent places in the city, from the Notre Dame to the Luxembourg Gardens.

D. You could travel around Budapest using the underground subway, but then you’d be missing most of the city. Stay above ground and truly discover everything Budapest has to offer on foot. Cross the Danube River and begin to understand the differences between the two segments of the city, Buda and Pest. Join a walking tour that will take you to all the major sites. After walking, don’t forget to take a soak in one of Budapest’s famous baths.

E. It's a great idea to come to Hong Kong to learn about the history, the economy, and the local cuisine from a local guide. The city seamlessly juxtaposes skyscrapers with incense filled temples, a fantastic business environment with great universities, treks into lush green places with a legendary nightlife, and glitzy malls with wet markets that display unrecognisable sun-dried foods. If you've still got some energy left from exploring the attractions, add a few days’ worth of trips to the local amusement parks, Disneyland Hong Kong and Ocean Park.

F. Mumbai is the most populated city in India, which happens to be the second most populated country in the world, making it an extremely crowded place. Trying to drive or bike around town may prove to be more of a headache than a vacation, making this the perfect city for walking tours. Home to the award-winning film “Slumdog Millionaire,” there are tours based just upon the movie and its impact. The most interesting places are the Open Air Laundry, Thieves Market, Hanging Garden and more.

G. Known to travelers as one of the most intact medieval cities in Europe, Tallinn is full of gothic architecture and cobblestone streets that look like they came right out of a Tolkien novel. Taking a walking tour will provide you with the historical background you need to understand everything you are viewing, while you explore both the Upper and Lower part of the Old Town. Stops will include beautiful views over the roofs of the lower Old Town, as well as visits to several cathedrals.

iGeneration: teenagers affected by phones

One day last summer, around noon, I called Athena, a 13-year-old who lives in Houston, Texas. She answered her phone—she has had an iPhone since she was 11—sounding as if she’d just woken up. We chatted about her favorite songs and TV shows, and I asked her what she likes to do with her friends. “We go to the mall,” she said. “Do your parents drop you off?” I asked, recalling my own middle-school days, in the 1980s, when I’d enjoy a few parent-free hours shopping with my friends. “No—I go with my family,” she replied. “We’ll go with my mom and brothers and walk a little behind them. I just have to tell my mom where we are going. I have to check in every hour or every 30 minutes.”

Those mall trips are infrequent—about once a month. More often, Athena and her friends spend time together on their phones, unchaperoned. Unlike the teens of my generation, who might have spent an evening tying up the family landline with gossip, they talk on Snapchat, a smartphone app that allows users to send pictures and videos that quickly disappear. They make sure to keep up their Snapstreaks, which show how many days in a row, they have Snapchatted with each other. She told me she had spent most of the summer hanging out alone in her room with her phone. That is just the way her generation is, she said. “We didn’t know any life other than with iPads or iPhones. I think we like our phones more than we like actual people.”

Some generational changes are positive, some are negative, and many are both. More comfortable in their bedrooms than in a car or at a party, today’s teens are physically safer than teens have ever been. They are markedly less likely to get into a car accident and, having less of a taste for alcohol than their predecessors, are less susceptible to drinking’s attendant ills.

Psychologically, however, they are more vulnerable than Millennials were: rates of teen depression and suicide have skyrocketed since 2011. It is not an exaggeration to describe iGen as being on the brink of the worst mental-health crisis in decades. Much of this deterioration can be traced to their phones.

However, in my conversations with teens, I saw hopeful signs that kids themselves are beginning to link some of their troubles to their ever-present phone. Athena told me that when she does spend time with her friends in person, they are often looking at their device instead of at her. “I’m trying to talk to them about something, and they don’t actually look at my face,” she said. “They’re looking at their phone, or they’re looking at their Apple Watch.” “What does that feel like when you’re trying to talk to somebody face-to-face and they’re not looking at you?” I asked. “It kind of hurts,” she said. “It hurts. I know my parents’ generation didn’t do that. I could be talking about something super important to me, and they wouldn’t even be listening.”

Once, she told me, she was hanging out with a friend who was texting her boyfriend. “I was trying to talk to her about my family, and what was going on, and she was like, ‘Uh-huh, yeah, whatever.’ So I took her phone out of her hands and I threw it at the wall.”

Though it is aggressive behavior that I don’t support, on the other hand, it is a step towards a life with limited phone use. So, if I were going to give advice for a happy adolescence, it would be straightforward: put down the phone, turn off the laptop, and do something—anything—that does not involve a screen.

12. According to the author, in her childhood she used to …

1) do the shopping with her friends.

2) go to the mall with her family.

3) call her mother every half an hour.

4) watch TV a lot.
