Stake out your territory at the beginning of the week. Sharing a train compartment, a bathroom at your lodgings or even an armrest could really rub you the wrong way now. Business travelers should be especially mindful of their turf. A little legwork via a guidebook or asking around about attractions, closures and the like pays off big-time on wednesday and thursday. You don't want to waste precious time. Trying new activities is favored this weekend, as are all things cultural; learn a local game, go to a dance or partake of food specialties you won't find at home.
