When traveling abroad, you must understand the relevant local conditions in advance;
1. Understand local folk customs and rules:
There are various customs in foreign countries , when you arrive at the local area, you must respect the local customs, especially some taboos. For example, Thai children are not allowed to touch their heads, and Indian children are not allowed to hold them. You should not feel that you are a foreigner and do whatever you want without knowing the local customs.
2. Personal and property safety abroad:
1. When leaving the hotel, be sure to ask for the hotel’s business card so that you can get on the bus and ask for directions.
2. Keep your travel documents and personal belongings safe, and do not put valuables in checked luggage when taking a flight. Cameras, camcorders, and camera batteries should also not be checked in.
3. Pay attention to the driving directions of cars in various countries to ensure traffic safety.
4. When going out, it is safer to store valuables in the safe at the hotel reception desk than in the room. Generally, there is such a safe at the front desk of the hotel, where guests can store their valuables for free.
5. When going out alone in a foreign country, you must carry an appropriate amount of money with you. Because many Chinese people are not accustomed to using credit cards, traveler's checks and other payment methods and always like to carry large amounts of cash with them, some foreign robbers specialize in robbing Chinese people.
6. Once you get lost or encounter an emergency abroad, you can ask for help from the police or contact the local Chinese embassy as soon as possible.
3. Things to note while traveling:
1. Due to the differences in food culture between countries, you should do as the locals do and respect the local food habits. When enjoying a buffet, you should follow the principle of economy and avoid waste. In foreign countries, cold drinking water is the main drink. If you need hot water or tea, you can call the waiter, but you need to pay a tip.
2. Accommodation: When checking out, you should pay for the drinks, food, washing supplies and long-distance calls provided in the room.
3. Tour buses are the main means of transportation during travel, and public hygiene in the vehicles should be consciously maintained.
4. Be cautious when shopping. Counterfeit and shoddy products are not exclusive to China.
5. In fact, many domestic tourists are not used to buying travel insurance, but outbound travel is especially important. Risks such as lost luggage must be guarded against, and Schengen countries even have mandatory requirements. Most overseas travel insurance protects personal safety and luggage items.
4. Services are paid
Tipping for services has become a part of foreign culture. You are responsible for luggage handling fees and tips at airports and hotels in various countries. Understand the payment situation in hotel rooms, what is available and what is not available in hotel rooms. You have to pay to watch some TV programs in the room, and most of the items in the refrigerator also have to be paid for after use.
