What common sense do you need to know when traveling abroad?

Three things you can't forget when you go out: keys, mobile phones and wallets. Go abroad more than three times. Especially friends who travel abroad for the first time are inexperienced and excited, and will definitely ignore many things. The following are the top ten reminders of traveling abroad summarized by my friends, to share with you.

First, prepare to pack.

When traveling abroad, especially to foreign countries, you must draw up a list in advance, write down what you want to bring, and then implement it one by one according to the list to avoid being in a hurry before departure. If you travel to Southeast Asia this season, don't forget that it is always summer there. You must bring enough summer clothes. Many of us have stayed in hotels in China and are familiar with the spare parts in the rooms, so we think that foreign hotels must have everything, and there is no need to prepare. This is not right. Most hotels in Southeast Asian countries, no matter how high-end, will not provide you with teeth and slippers. If you forget to bring it, you have to pay a high price to buy it in foreign currency.

Second, take the necessary medicine.

It is wise to take some necessary medicine with you when traveling. Who can guarantee that he won't get sick during the trip? Once you feel unwell, the small medicine around you can save you from a big emergency. There are several medicines that are essential in your luggage: a cold; Motion sickness; Allergy; Diarrhea; Band-aid, wind oil essence, etc. Don't forget to bring nitroglycerin to the heart patients! In addition, if possible, it is not unnecessary to bring a thermometer.

Third, understand foreign folk customs and rules.

For example, Thai children can't touch their heads, but you can't hold Indian children? Like these rules abroad, you really need to know something when you travel to other countries. Otherwise, people won't blame you for being a foreigner. For example, before going to Thailand, you must understand these customs: take off your shoes when entering the temple; Ladies should avoid monks when they see them; Ladies can't wear short skirts and sandals when visiting the Grand Palace, and so on. People with bad hygiene habits must be careful. Spitting and littering on the streets of Singapore, high fines will make you dizzy.

Fourth, travel to countries where the language is not fluent.

When you arrive at the hotel, take a hotel card at the front desk first. Why? Very useful. The card has the address and telephone number of the hotel. You can show it to the taxi driver when you go out. In Thailand, there was a precedent that a guest could not find a hotel in the middle of the night without a card, and finally he was sent back by a police car with a sad face. Therefore, although the card is small, it can ensure your travel smoothly.

Fifth, understand the payment situation of hotel rooms.

If there is anything in the hotel room, be sure to ask the tour guide to say hello for you first. Some TV programs in the room are paid, and most things in the refrigerator are paid after use.

Sixth, valuables are stored in the main safe.

When going out, it is safer to put valuables in the safe at the front desk of the hotel than in the room. Generally, the reception desk of a hotel has such a safe, which can store valuables for guests free of charge. Leave a key in the hotel and take one for yourself. By the way, many foreign hotels have regulations that if your valuables are lost in your room, you are not responsible for compensation.

Seventh, be careful when shopping.

Fake and shoddy products are not unique to China. You will meet them when shopping in some countries in Southeast Asia. When buying high-value goods such as gold and silver jewelry and gem products, we must not just listen to the promise of refundable and exchangeable business. You must think it over before you buy it. Many travel agencies have encountered several cases of helping customers return goods or doing something wrong.

Eighth, take the right amount of money with you.

When a person goes shopping abroad, he must bring the right amount of money. Because most people in China don't use credit cards, traveler's checks and other means of payment, they always like to carry a lot of cash with them, so some foreign robbers rob people in China. It's not good to carry money with you. In a city with poor public security in America, you should take $20 with you for safety.

Ninth, it is very important to choose a travel agency with good service and good reputation.

At present, China citizens generally choose travel agency teams to travel abroad, so it is very important to find a travel agency with good service and excellent quality.

Tenth, you should take good care of your passport and air ticket when you take part in group tours.

In some countries, the tour leader will keep your passport, but in some countries and regions, the police sometimes check your passport on the street, so you should take it with you. The plane ticket should also be handled. If you get to the airport and suddenly find that your plane ticket can't be found, you will be in big trouble.
