New places attract. A new city that peopel who have never been to always arouse thestrong interest and longing for that-best cuisine or citycape for example. And news places threaten. A new city of far less comprehension always arouse the uncertainty, fear, or conjecture. That's why people are untended to study a new place they will visit. And among the options provided, I would recommend the way of discussing with those who have visitedthe target places formerly but not reading the information online.

First, my recommendation will be conductive to more detailed knowledge of the two places. As we all know, information online is great wealth surprisingly full of incrediblymassive amount. In such immeasurable ocean of human knowledge and wisdom, there is always an illusion in which a reader will get lost. But this fault would less likely existwhen people adopt face-to-face discussion for the planner can deliberately ask veteran about the detailed comparison on the two new places they really care-like safety issue, public transport, the stands of consumption. More over, if necessary, some private questions will be allowed to be asked. By the vivid description and introduction of the one of first-hand experience words, examples, some narrations, it is well believed the planner will acquire the rather valuable information of detalis.

Second, my preference will enjoy a much higher efficiency in making a decision.

Last, the counter part proposal will more likely to be misguided; my suggestion justavoid such a weakness. As I discussed in "paragraph 2", in such a information era, people diving in the ocean of knowledge with various intentions-exaggerating the reality to propaganda for example, are likely to get their brains washed or get drowned. It has not been difficult to find, for typical example, in order to sell a city to the vast public to boost its tourism industry, fake news the man-made scenery spots and some deliberately beautified pics are exposed online. On the contrary, a teller that have visited the two scenes, will take a indifferent position much possibly without the consideration of personal interests, giving the planner objective and detached suggestion. In this case, the listener will suffer less misguidance.

All in all, human beings are the creatures of uniqueness like creativity, wisdom, logic etc. The uniqueness just empower them to take a properer way to discover the outerworld. And when it comes to gaining useful data of unknown places, engaging in discussion with other more experienced people will be a better choice.
