What should I pay attention to when traveling to America?

1. Passport, ID card and visa: the first priority is passport. Besides your passport, in case you lose your passport during your trip, I suggest you make copies of some important documents before your trip.

2. Bank card or dollars: traveling in the United States definitely needs some money. Such as eating, staying in a hotel, tickets, etc. Everyone needs money, and bank cards are convenient.

3. Daily necessities: slippers, toothpaste, toothbrush, etc. Because the hotel doesn't provide slippers, there should be a pair of simple and easy-to-carry slippers in the bag. In addition, like razors for men, cosmetics for women, care and sun protection, please bring them according to your personal needs.

4. Digital appliances: mobile phones, cameras, computers, etc. It depends on personal conditions. Because the outlet and voltage in the United States are 1 10 volts, which is different from that in China, you can buy American standard plug converters in large supermarkets or online electrical stores in advance.

5. Medicines: Please take regular medicines with you. Except for some chronic diseases, you should keep enough medicine according to your own situation. Remember to take medicine for acute diseases.

6. Other items: glasses, razors, nail clippers, small electric cups, sewing kits, hair dryers, notebooks, pens, paper towels or wet paper towels, and daily necessities for girls. These can be judged according to personal usage habits.

7. In the United States, the voltage is 1 10V60Hz AC, and the three-eye socket is different from that in China, so it is necessary to use a conversion socket, which can be purchased in China. Tap water in the United States can be drunk directly, but hot water in the tap can't be drunk. All American hotels have no hot water supply. If you like to drink hot tea, you can bring your own hot cup.

8. American hotels don't. I don't have a kettle for boiling water, only a coffee machine. If you need to drink boiled water instead of using the coffee machine, please bring your own boiled water. I brought a small rice cooker this time, which can cook instant noodles and hot pot noodles. Very easy to use.

1. Travel documents, such as passport (copy of passport), air ticket, ID card, invitation letter, etc. , should be carried with you to facilitate the local customs when crossing the border. Don't put them in the suitcase. At the same time, it is best to show China's ID card and work permit, and also to prove that you are a person with status in China, so the immigration officer will feel more at ease. After completing the customs formalities in the United States, the customs officer will return your passport and entry card to you. This card is very important and must not be lost. If you have just updated your new passport, please bring your old passport with you when you leave the country. 2. Baggage problem: each person is limited to one hand baggage and two checked baggage. The weight of each piece shall not exceed 23kg, and the sum of length, width and height shall not exceed 158CM. Baggage will be handled by itself, and porters will be used in foreign airports and hotels. I give you a tip, usually 2 dollars. Remember not to bring anything to others. Please don't tear off your luggage tag after you get off the plane. Don't move until all members have picked up their luggage for inspection. Airports in the United States require that checked luggage should not be locked, because the luggage is not checked in front of the owner, but checked in the background. You have locked your luggage. If you need to unpack the bag, the staff can only take a pair of scissors to cut your lock open. You don't have to put the film in the checked baggage. You have to take out the pictures and the ones that are not taken. I wasn't photographed. 3. Each customs officer and border inspector can take 5000 dollars (or other foreign currency equivalent to 5000 dollars) out of the country, and valuables must be declared to the customs. American customs inspection is very strict, and fruits, meat, contraband, soil, animals and plants are prohibited. Pirated crops are not allowed to be brought into the country. Even books, videos, computer software, artworks and other legal works. Each person is limited to one. When entering the country, you should seriously answer the inquiries and inspections of local immigration officials. You should also declare your cash, checks or other foreign currencies. If you carry more than $ 10000, you must declare it. Renminbi can't be used in America. If it is found to be untrue and inconsistent, it may be refused entry, even fined and detained. Please queue up for entry and exit and go through customs formalities in order. Be quiet and answer the question politely. 4. Other tips You can drink raw water in the United States, but there is generally no prepared hot water. Americans are not used to drinking boiled water. Generally speaking, hotels don't. I have no water heater. If you want to make tea, one way is to ask the restaurant for some boiled water and then take the tea back to the hotel, but you must pay a tip of $65,438 +0. The United States uses three-band mobile phones, and China generally uses dual-band mobile phones. General hotel use110v. The United States and Canada implement the drug classification system, which makes it difficult to buy drugs and the medical expenses are high. You should buy overseas safety and medical insurance before you go. Take common cold medicine, airsickness medicine, gastrointestinal medicine and personal medicine.
