Question

Summary of the accidental tourist?​

Answer 1

Answer:

What is the meaning of accidental tourist?

Somehow, to us, the expression "accidental tourist" has lost its original meaning and has come to represent someone who travels by himself, without resorting to travel organizations, and whose trips are unplanned.

Introduction

This is a humorous story where the writer talks of the incidences where he acts clumsy. He tries to behave in a sophisticated manner but is unable to do so and ends up spilling drinks, smearing his face with ink and creating a mess on the dining table.

Lesson and Explanation

OF all the things I am not very good at, living in the real world is perhaps the most outstanding. I am constantly filled with wonder at the number of things that other people do without any evident difficulty that are pretty much beyond me. I cannot tell you the number of times that I have gone looking for the lavatory in a cinema, for instance, and ended up standing in an alley on the wrong side of a self locking door. My particular specialty now is returning to hotel desks two or three times a day and asking what my room number is. I am, in short, easily confused.

Lavatory: a room or building containing a toilet

Alley: a narrow passageway between or behind buildings

The author says that he is not good at doing many works at one time. He is amazed at people who do multitasking without facing any difficulty. Many times, he gets confused when he searches for the toilet in a cinema and lands up in a lane, from where he cannot enter the hall. When he checks in a hotel, he forgets his room number and goes to the reception many times just to confirm it.
