The United States is a country whose social environment is very different from that of China. Therefore, there are many places to pay attention to when traveling in the United States, especially safety issues. Below, I will introduce you from five important aspects: public security situation, payment method, insurance purchase, translation software and tipping, hoping to help you.

When traveling in the United States, the security situation is very important. The United States is a country where guns are legal, and shooting cases emerge one after another every year. In 218, for example, there were 57,13 gun-related cases in the United States, so we must pay attention to them. However, this does not mean that all places are very dangerous.

vicious violence may often occur in poor areas, but it is very safe in rich areas, and you may not even need to lock the door when you go out. The poor areas and the rich areas are sometimes separated by only one road, so the law and order situation is very different. So when you go to the United States, you must find out what kind of area your hotel and scenic spots belong to. These can be asked at the front desk of the hotel. Only when this is clear can safety be guaranteed. There is a better way to judge: if you see many idle people wandering in the street, it is very likely that the security conditions here are not very good, so stay away from it quickly.

In America, it is best not to go out at night. Unless it is a closed environment, such as in Disneyland, Universal Studios, shopping malls and so on. Besides, don't go to places like streets, squares and parks at night.

In addition, don't go to sparsely populated places in the United States. Some remote towns may have a population of only a few hundred. At first glance, it seems nothing strange, but the social environment in such places is beyond your understanding. Therefore, try to avoid going to such a place with too little population.

In the United States, traditional credit cards, cash and even handwritten checks are still used in many occasions. Only in a few places can you pay by mobile phone. This is a little inconvenient for traveling in America. Therefore, it is best to carry a credit card that can be used abroad and a certain amount of cash.

why can't I just bring my credit card? Because in America, there are many Chinese restaurants that only accept cash; Besides, you can only pay cash when tipping.

when traveling in the United States, you must buy medical insurance. Before you travel, you can consult with travel agencies and insurance companies to buy travel insurance products specially designed for travel, and you have obtained basic medical insurance. In the United States, medical expenses are extremely expensive. In particular, if an ambulance is called, the bill will soar, and it will cost at least three or five thousand dollars to jump.

Therefore, some people joked that before you faint in America, you must say "Don't call an ambulance" to the person next to you before you faint. In fact, this is not an exaggeration, because if there is no medical insurance in the United States, it is very likely that one visit will ruin everything. Therefore, you must buy insurance in advance, and you can rest assured that you can see a doctor after something goes wrong.

It is best to prepare English translation software in advance. The American English accent sounds very different from the British accent that we China people learned from primary school. When I first went to the United States, I felt that their speech was very swallowing and tongue rolling, especially for elderly people, and it was difficult to hear clearly. After staying for a while, I can slowly react.

Therefore, it is difficult to understand what the local people are saying when they come to the United States, even if they have learned English, if they have not been trained in listening to American music since childhood. Therefore, for convenience, it is best to download the translation app in advance.

Tipping is an important local custom, which runs through every part of American daily life. Although the amount of tipping is determined by yourself, tipping is mandatory in the United States. If you give too little or don't, the waiter will even chase you out of the restaurant and ask you for money. So, don't forget.

basically, it's necessary to tip whenever there are other people serving you. Please note that tipping is paid in a business environment, not in an administrative environment. Specifically, for example, going through the customs in the United States is not a commercial purchase. Never tip, or you will be arrested as a bribe. Generally speaking, the places where tipping is required are mainly restaurants, hotels, bars, airports, tourist groups and so on.

specifically, for example, the tip for eating in a restaurant (excluding fast food restaurants, fast food does not need to be tipped) is generally more than 15%. In the hotel, if someone helps you carry your luggage, you have to pay one dollar for each one; Before leaving the hotel room every morning, you should also put cash at the bedside at the price of one dollar per bed; In a bar, if you need a bartender to mix drinks, you also need to pay a tip; At the airport, if someone helps you carry your luggage, you also need a tip; You don't need to tip by bus, but you should also tip about 15% by taxi.

it is true that tipping is a very troublesome thing. Tipping has shifted the part that employers need to pay to the guests, leaving many customers who come to the United States for the first time scratching their heads and wondering when to tip and when not to tip. In fact, the best way to judge is to see when people around you tip. For example, if you join a tour group, after a day's trip, you can also pay an appropriate tip if you see others tipping the driver or tour guide.

First of all, before departure:

1. The basic conditions for ensuring a smooth outbound tour are: you must bring your passport, ID card, air ticket, etc. Need to confirm repeatedly.

2. For environmental protection, many overseas hotels don't have disposable articles, so they should bring their own toiletries first.

3. prepare clothes according to local weather, except for special occasions, which are generally light and comfortable, with as little burden as possible.

4. Always bring the standing medicines!

5. separate the checked baggage from the hand luggage in advance, and pick up the checked baggage at the destination before going through the customs.

Second, leaving the country:

1. Currency is allowed when leaving the country: each person is limited to RMB 6, in cash, HK$ 8, in cash or US$ 2, in cash.

2. The value of Chinese patent medicines is RMB 3 yuan, and the value of handicrafts is RMB 1 yuan or less, with one duty-free cigarette and one bottle of wine.

3. Cameras and advanced cameras must be declared at the customs, so as not to have to pay taxes when returning the seeds.

Third, pass the customs:

1. Be careful not to help strangers with their luggage in case they are used.

2. The expenses for epidemic prevention before leaving the country shall be paid by oneself.

Fourth, during the trip:

1. Do as the Romans do and respect the local culture.

2. You can book in advance and contact hotels and chartered cars.

3. The main means of transportation is tourist buses, and drivers are usually refused to work overtime at night. For environmental protection, drivers are not allowed to turn on the air conditioner when parking, and will be fined. So we should abide by local laws and regulations, not be rigid.

Fifth, other safety matters:

1. Free travellers need to remember information such as emergency contact person, hotel telephone address, etc., and those traveling with the group should also write down information such as the leader's telephone number, assembly time and address, license plate, etc.

2. Take good care of your certificates and personal belongings, and don't neglect your own safety because of your lust for scenery!

It's spring, and it's time to travel. Nowadays, people are not only satisfied with domestic tourism, but also the number of people traveling to the United States is increasing.

Although the relationship between China and the United States tends to be friendly and cooperative. However, due to historical reasons, political culture and other factors, there are also differences and contradictions.

so, what should we pay attention to when traveling to the United States? The first is the currency you need when you arrive in the United States,

where you need to tip, and how to ensure safety when you travel in the United States?

I believe these are all what you need, so don't bother. Please follow me to read them down quickly.

The currency unit in the United States is the dollar ($). There are seven denominations of paper penny, including 1 yuan, 5 yuan, 2 yuan, 1 yuan, 5 yuan, 2 yuan and $1, and coins have quarter, dimes and dimes.

second, the problem of tipping. In the United States, almost all the extra services for individuals are expected to be tipped. If you don't tip, it means that you are extremely dissatisfied with his/her service. If there is nothing wrong with the service itself and you don't tip, you may be refused service next time.

When traveling in the United States, you must pay attention to: 1. When traveling in the United States, don't carry a lot of cash, and use credit cards, checks or check cards or traveler's checks as much as possible; 2. Take good care of your belongings and check whether there are any left-over items or money when you leave the hotel; 3. When members go out, please don't talk to strangers. It is best not to act alone, especially at night. 4. When encountering robbery, don't resist forcibly. Guns are rampant in America, and gangsters often have guns. Deal with it calmly. After the robbery, if the loss is large, you should call 911 immediately or call the police nearby.
