Liu Yong: travel taboos written to his daughter

"Travel taboos for my daughter"-Liu Yong

you can leave a light when you leave the room and turn on the TV to make it look like there is someone in the room. When you come across the device of plugging in the card to get electricity, you can replace it with another paper card, so that you will not turn off the power because of withdrawing the room card.

in case of fire, cover your nose with wet towels or bedsheets, which can often help you escape. So after taking a bath, you can leave the water in the bathtub. If there is no water in the bathtub, but there is a fire, you can tuck the towel into the toilet and then flush it to get wet. Life is important, don't be afraid to get dirty!

one hundred taboos in life-- there are taboos when going out (1)

1. Avoid "swim but have no way"

Confucius said well: "if your parents are there, if you don't travel far, you must have a good swim." Even if your parents are away, to be responsible for your family and to protect yourself, you'd better tell your family (or friends) about your decided itinerary before you travel. This should include the places where you are most likely to be contacted. Even if you do not book a hotel at all and are a backpacker, you should choose a few places that are bound to pass by. You can even leave the data of the national tourism service centers to your family. Then when you arrive at those places, ask if they have any news about you.

A better way is for you to report your personal information and itinerary to the foreign affairs department of the government, that is, to let your country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs know where "his nationals" will go. It is their responsibility to maintain your safety and provide you with assistance if necessary.

so you should have the data of local consulates with you and leave them to your family.

2. Do not leave a way back

leave your necessary travel documents and passports photocopied before leaving, one at home, one in your luggage, and one with the originals of those materials, but not in the same place. For example, you put your passport in your purse and a copy in your pocket.

your money should also be kept in at least two places, that is, you have to assume that there is some emergency money when your bag is stolen, your luggage is lost, or your luggage is robbed.

whether it's the local currency or the US dollars you carry with you, you have to prepare large and small bills and don't misplace them. It can also be said that when you encounter an emergency, you should be able to accurately take out large or small bills. Do not think that it is enough to bring a large denomination, because you may not find someone to change temporarily, find someone who does not know you, for fear that you will take counterfeit banknotes and will not give them to you. What's more, you should avoid showing a large stack of banknotes when you only need to pay a dollar or two. It is also necessary to see clearly when exchanging foreign exchange, on the one hand, to see if the figures are correct, and on the other hand, to recognize unfamiliar banknotes, so as not to regard 50 yuan as five yuan, and at the same time, as mentioned earlier, sort them out according to face value.

3. Do not bring too much luggage

"Travel light!" Travel lightly, and the more relaxed you are, the freer you are. If you can bring only one, don't bring two; if you can bring a small bottle, don't bring a large bottle; if you can use a plastic bottle, don't use a glass bottle; if you can use it all the way, throw it all the way, or make sure you can buy it locally, don't go all the way.

remember, yes! Yes! If you want to "get", you have to "give up". The more you want to buy more things outside, don't bring too much luggage together in the first place. When you bring too little things, to avoid empty boxes, items can be easily damaged, you can put in a few cardboard boxes, all the way into the newly bought things, throw away the cartons all the way. If you encounter fragile items, you can also put them in a cardboard box prepared in advance.

you'd better take a light and strong bag (material that folds up very little) with you, which can be used to hold things if necessary. The bag had better be bigger, so when you buy a lot of small things and it is very inconvenient to hold them in your hand, you can put them in that bag at the same time.

more importantly, when you check your luggage at the airport, if you are fined for being overweight, you can temporarily take a few small but heavy things out of the big box and take them with you. (for example, books, but not liquids, sprays, knives, etc., which are not allowed to board the plane)

4. Don't count in mind

just like the co-pilot and co-pilot of a plane, you should "retell" one by one before take-off. No matter how experienced a traveler you are, you should think about it "from head to toe" when you pack it. This "head to toe" is the real "head" and "foot", that is, you think of it down to your feet.

for example, if you think from the top hair, think of umbrellas, hats, shampoo, sunscreen, glasses (you may need an extra pair of spare), sunglasses, lipstick, scarves, necklaces (maybe for safety, decide to take the expensive ones off and leave them at home).

when you don't think about it in this order, but think you have it, you probably find out, "Wow!" I'm going to Africa. How could I forget sunscreen when the sun is so hot? " "I'm going to Alaska. It's so dry and cold, how can I forget the lip cream?" "Oh, my God! I can't believe I forgot to bring my socks! "

by the same token, be sure to check your passport, visa (if it is a separate visa paper or a valid visa signed in an old passport), credit card, traveler's check, cash, contact number, mobile phone, laptop, etc. To avoidWhen you got to the airport, you found that you had to go home.

also, you should remember to take a few pieces of carry-on luggage with you. Remind yourself at any time along the way and count. After someone helps you carry your luggage on the bus, be sure to count it yourself, or ask if the number is correct. In case you think I took it, I think you did, and in the end, one is still in the room or outside the airport.

5. Do not bring repetitive things

if you travel in a variety of ways, such as going to the mountains for a few days and living in the mountains, your suitcase should be big and small (small can also be a backpack), because you can't bring very large suitcases, you must deposit them at the foot of the mountain, and only carry light ones up the mountain.

bring shoes that can be used for different occasions, for example, you are mostly traveling in the city, but you may also walk through mountains and streams, but you also plan to take part in several formal occasions, and you only want to bring a pair of shoes. Of course, you can't bring smooth leather soles, and even the uppers should be waterproof to wade in the water. By the same token, if you only need to wear a suit once or twice (some restaurants will require male customers to wear a suit jacket, or even not to take it off in the middle of a meal), there is no need to bring anything too expensive, or even to prevent wrinkles and rain. Bringing a set of man-made fibers is enough.

unless the purpose of your trip is to "show", the more ordinary and worthless you bring, the less you will gain or lose, and the more relaxed and happy you will be.

6. Taboo luggage has open pockets or gaps

the edges of backpacks and handbags, and often open pockets for convenience, which become a good place for drug smugglers to "entrust". People are often found to have carry-on luggage or even drugs in their loose pockets at the customs, but the people caught are completely unaware of it because they have become "poisonous kangaroos".

so if you have open pockets on your luggage, especially on your backpack, you'd better add a strong button or simply sew it up. Otherwise, you will be caught for no reason, and the person who stole the drugs will run away. it's really hard to argue.

you even have to beware of illegal "customs officers" stuffing drugs into your luggage. At this time, the power of law enforcement is in their hands. The most important thing for you is that when they put the "so-called drugs found" into your hands, do not answer them! If you don't touch it at all, there's no fingerprint on it, and there's a chance of vindication.

do not help old and weak women carry things through customs out of sympathy. If necessary, you can help them get help from the staff at the airport. But when you go to find someone, be careful with your luggage.

when a friend asks you to bring something, it's best to check it out. If that friend is sensible, he should open things in front of you and show you first. And on the way to the airport, try to avoid baggage leaving the line of sight. Because you are not sure if there will be terrorists secretly stuffing dangerous goods into your luggage.

7. Do not recognize the boarding gate

even if you have got your boarding pass early, you'd better check the screen data of the boarding gate again when you arrive at the airport, because the boarding gate may change at any time. If you arrive at the airport early and stare at your boarding gate from a distance, thinking that as long as you don't see other passengers entering, you haven't boarded the plane. It's possible that the boarding gate has changed and the plane has already flown. You don't even know.

you should also confirm your reservation in advance according to airline regulations, so as not to find that it has been canceled when you arrive at the airport. What's more, you have to make sure that the plane takes off on time before departure, in case the flight is delayed or canceled, and you wait at the airport.
