发帖数: 56 | 1 因为Memorial Day的缘故所以有个长周末，所以打算用这个长周末去费城周边的城市带
一下。找了
一下周边的，Baltimore应该比较合适。有别的推荐当然也可以一起商量考虑。
去的话打算坐megabus（或者灰狗或者NewCentury均可，我自己不太倾向于chinatown
bus），
round trip都在$28左右，单程坐车大概是2个小时。当然也可以考虑开车如果你有车的
话，不
过“Car parking is expensive in the inner city, roughly $5/hr around the
harbor area. The I-395 turn-off from I-95 will take you right into the
harbor area, but traffic can be slow in the center of the city at rush
hour and especially on game days.” 当然也可以考虑“As a general rule, the
light rail [11] system is far more useful for getting into the city than
getting around it. You may wish to park outside the city (for free!) and
take the light rail in.” 总的来说，坐公交车应该比较适合（价格，停车，车上
时间，
etc.）
住宿可以一起找，不住旅馆的其他途径（比如家庭旅馆之类的）两晚可以在$100以下。
游玩的地方可以参考http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g60811-Activities-
Baltimore_Maryland.html, 或者http://www.sitesandbites.com/baltimore.php。
感兴趣的同学请尽量参与trip plan, 这也是一个很好的去之前双方互相熟悉建立信任
的过程。优
先考虑男性（住宿方便考虑），不过如果对合住旅馆不在意的女生，那我也就没所谓，
呵呵。
请感兴趣的同学请发到我邮箱 a*********[email protected]，谢谢！ | s********8

而且巴尔的摩是有名的“罪恶之城”，治安非常差 | a*****g
发帖数: 56 | 3 可能就是因为大家普遍认为没什么好玩的和治安差这两点，结果居然没有一个人愿意同去，所以我就
一个人去了。
出乎意料，巴尔的摩在我已经去过的华盛顿，纽约，波士顿，巴尔的摩中却是最为好玩最为喜欢惬意
的。对纽约没一点感觉，香港一样的城市，对我没吸引力。华盛顿和波士顿还不错。我应该会再去巴
尔的摩。
巴尔的摩的INNER HARBOR非常之惬意舒适。人很多，大家也非常的悠闲。我沿着HARBOR边走边吹
海风走了一圈，然后在东部突出来的FELLS POINT那里椅子上非常之惬意的躺了一个小时。然后沿
着很有意思的BROADWAY往上走。一直走到官方地图（我下了车第一个就是去INNER HARBOR的
VISITOR CENTER拿地图）都看不到的31街（MUSEUM OF BALTIMORE），住在29街。边走边判
断安全与否，结果非常放心。走的地方，东到FELLS POINT, 北到31街及右边的GREENMOUNT
CEMETERY，西到HOLLINS MARKET,南到FEDERAL HILL，把巴尔的摩基本上都走遍了，一个人走
我也非常放心。
另外一个去之前在巴尔的摩官方网站上查到HILLINS MARKET周日有Sowebo Arts & Music
Festival,http://baltimore.org/events/id/3384。非常的赞，非常多年轻人，卖各种各
样的有意思的小东西，有至少9个乐队轮番献唱。在那里逗留了两三个小时。LIVE MUSIC
非常的不错。去巴尔的摩的同学建议现在这里查有没有什么活动。巴尔的摩年轻人似乎很多，不过很
少很少见到中国人，连亚洲脸都少见。不知道是不是去的地区的原因。
至于安全，据我看完全是太过忧虑了。走之前查过巴尔的摩的murder map
http://essentials.baltimoresun.com/micro_sun/homicides/, 以及种族分布
（http://projects.nytimes.com/census/2010/explorer），走之前前一天还看到巴尔的
摩列在全美排名前几的不安全城市中，也确实有点担心安全。问过不少同事，意见很快分为两派。一
派是外来者，比如在美国呆过很多年的，普遍认为巴尔的摩很不安全，有一个同事甚至周五下午还要
我不去了。另外一派是美国本土人，问的五六个美国人，都说没事，you will be fine, 别看那
些什么murder map。可能外来者普遍对于本地的一些不安全因素觉得更为不安全，或者很多事故都
发生在外来者身上。其实看WIKITRAVAL上说，很多是黑人里边互相内斗产生的murder，看murder
map，基本上也是黑人之间的事。去了后，通过街道、商店、路面干净情况、住户神情等判断，最起
码大白天不会有太大问题。当然晚上八点以后我是不出去了，毕竟一个人。如果有几个人，我会建议
傍晚在INNER HARBOR吹吹海风，会更为惬意。
回过头来在看WIKITRAVEL上关于SAFETY的说明，尤其是最后一段话，觉得很是合理：
Stay safe http://wikitravel.org/en/Baltimore
Sharks—not the only safety hazard in BaltimoreBaltimore has quite the
reputation for crime. Its nickname, the "Charm City", has been updated
by local cynics as the "Harm City," and you can probably find an I
*heart* Baltimore t-shirt for sale in which the heart is made of guns
and knives. An even less inviting nickname of recent years is the grisly
"Bodymore." This reputation is in no small part due to its very high
murder rate and its prominent, nationally-acclaimed crime dramas. The
reputation is warranted, but the average traveler should not get overly
concerned. The high murder rate needs to be informed by the awful
context that nearly all the homicides in the city are of young black men
—most of them just in their teens—located in parts of the city that few
travelers have ever laid eyes upon. Most crime occurs between
individuals that know each other. Few if any travelers will have any
experience with the isolated culture, drug and gang-related, where the
murders are occurring. Muggings are the violent crime to be concerned
with for tourists.Those areas of Baltimore that attract tourists are
safe. You shouldn't
worry when going to the opera, museums, aquarium, etc. The popular Inner
Harbor area in particular is saturated with police day and night, as the
city government relies heavily on this area to generate much needed tax
revenues. Some areas just north of the waterfront (downtown above the
Inner Harbor around Lexington Market, and around the big public housing
projects just northeast of Little Italy) can get a little dodgy after
dark, and even during the day sometimes. If you're parking your car on
street in the Charles Street entertainment district or even in Fells
Point, don't leave anything (even trash) visible in your car, in order
to deter smash-and-grab robberies. Generally, the worst annoyance for
tourists and residents around downtown are the homeless and/or drug
addicts, who ask for money and sometimes become aggressive by yelling or
starting to follow people; the best advice is to ignore them, and keep
walking, as they almost always give up after a few seconds. Avoid
confrontations or yelling back.
Above all, though, just exercise the usual precautions for urban
America: know where you are going and how you are getting there, at
night walk in groups and do not carry large amounts of money, avoid
poorly lit streets, and call a cab if the trip back at night seems
beyond your comfort zone. | e*******s
