What is the most important thing to pay attention to when traveling to America?

When traveling to the United States, the first priority is to pay attention to safety, and the second is to pay attention to one's personal behavior quality, that is, do as the Romans do. Therefore, it is necessary to do more homework before going out to play. I didn't do my homework the first time I went to America, and I almost had an accident foolishly. Take a warning.

it's very helpful to look up other people's travel notes on the internet when you go to any city.

Pay attention to safety

We often see the news of shootings in the United States, and we also see all kinds of abnormal crimes in the United States in American TV dramas, such as robbery and drug trafficking. Some people say that the United States is not safe. This sentence is right and wrong. Because safety and insecurity depend on time and place, for example, it is safer during the day than at night, and the rich areas are safer than the slums. As long as we pay attention to a few principles, we basically don't have to worry about safety.

first, the hotel should be selected in a safe area.

Remember that the word downtown is almost equivalent to downtown. Never think that the city is safe. On the contrary, the night in the city is the most dangerous. Because drug dealers, robbers and gangs are based on urban streets; Moreover, the functions of urban areas in the United States are generally business and office, and the living environment is not suitable, so most Americans live outside the urban areas.

If you are in the United States, you can check the crime map and know which area of the destination has the lowest crime rate. When choosing a hotel, you must avoid those areas with high crime rates. If you can't find it, check the rating and evaluation of the hotel on the travel website, and choose the hotel with more and better evaluations, which should not be bad.

Second, don't think about going out for fun at night.

Most cities in the United States become like ghosts at night. You can't find shops open on the street, and even cars passing by are rare. Most of the people you can see are vagrants on the street, as well as drug dealers and gangsters. They can tell at a glance that you are a foreigner and then rob or ask for money by targeting foreigners.

if you walk alone in the street at night, there is a high probability that you will be asked for money by a tramp on the road. I was asked once, and many of my friends have similar experiences.

Don't think that you can go out to buy supper at night. There are not as many McDonald's and KFC in the United States as in China. If you go to find a snack, you may be regarded as a snack by robbers.

(When you travel, you must return safely)

I had a bad experience in Miami before, but I was fine in Washington, perhaps because my hotel is close to the White House, and the security around here can be better. I walked to a fast food restaurant at 9 o'clock in the evening and bought a sandwich.

In America, the only fun at night is the bar, but it is also a place of right and wrong. Especially you are an Asian face, and at first glance you are a foreigner, not a regular customer, and the chances of encountering unhappiness will be much greater. So if you don't have close friends to lead the way, you'd better not think about going to these places to play.

Third, don't bring large amounts of cash. Pay by credit card as far as possible.

Just bring a few tens of dollars of cash with you and two VISA credit cards with you. However, it is said that domestic credit cards are easy to be stolen when used abroad, so it is recommended to set a daily consumption limit for your credit cards before going abroad, in case of being stolen, the loss will not be too heavy.

Personal qualities

If you go abroad, don't lose the face of China people. Don't let others feel bad about China because of your behavior. Sometimes it's not because of your poor personal qualities, but because of the cultural differences between China and the West. If you don't pay attention, you will be misunderstood. Since it is someone else's country, let's respect the traditions and habits of other countries.

First, you should tip when you eat and stay in a hotel

If you eat in an American restaurant, as long as you sit down and take the menu to order food and then the waiter delivers it to you, the general procedure is: order food, serve it, and ask for the bill after eating. The waiter will bring you a small wallet to see the food money, just put your credit card in it and give it to him, and then he will brush your card and return it to you with a credit card, receipt and pen; Just write down the amount of the tip and the total amount after adding the tip on the receipt. Tips are usually 15% of the meal, of course, it doesn't matter if you give more.

If you need a waiter to clean up when staying in a hotel, you can tip two or three yuan on the bedside or pillow. If someone carries your luggage, you should also tip one or two yuan.

Keep some one-dollar bills in your wallet.

Second, don't talk loudly in public.

I found in America that not all restaurants are so quiet. Anyway, do as the Romans do and don't make your voice so "excellent".

Third, be a gentleman.

For example, when you let a lady go first, get out of the elevator or go out, politely let others go first. "after you" means you go first.

and if you find someone going out behind you, you should hold the door for others, and never slam the door when you go out.

if you drive, you must be polite to pedestrians, or you will be scolded.

If someone in a wheelchair has to get on the bus, be sure to let the disabled get on the bus first, otherwise they will be scolded. This is my personal experience, so despise me.

As a person who has lived and worked in the United States for decades, talk about my views.

When traveling to the United States, do as the Romans do and change some habits of living in China.

Abide by the law

In the United States, the rule of law is emphasized, and there is no such thing as mediation and forgiveness. It is very troublesome after breaking the law, so when traveling in the United States, don't break the law.

Although there are a lot of laws in the United States, you will not break the law if you behave yourself. If you accidentally commit a crime, accept it honestly and don't argue with law enforcement officers, otherwise it will be disturbing official duties or even assaulting a police officer, which may add to the crime.

Pay attention to safety

The tourist attractions in the United States are very safe, and the center of big cities is also very safe during the day. Get to know in advance, don't go to unsafe neighborhoods, such as black areas, and don't run around at night if you are unfamiliar, especially by car. Knowing that America is not wandering around after dark, besides, there is nothing to see in America after dark.

Personal qualities

Be careful not to make loud noises in public, pay attention to queuing, and never smoke in public if you smoke.

Don't be too careful. Americans are still very friendly. When you need help, you should give priority to the police. Don't be fooled by the reports of the black police in the media. The vast majority of police in the United States are very professional and friendly.

related matters

credit cards are customary, and cash is also acceptable. Alipay and WeChat are only available in a few places, so the habit of mobile payment should be changed. Always bring dozens of dollars in cash, in case something happens, you can save your life.

Be careful with valuables. Although the United States does not have as many thieves as Europe, it is not foolproof.

tipping is very common in the United States. Don't forget to eat out, but there are also many restaurants that serve themselves, which saves tipping.

Chinese restaurants are everywhere now, and it's easy to find them. The catering in the United States is very diverse. Since you come to the United States, you should try all kinds of food, not just Chinese food.

The United States has strict control over the sale of tobacco and alcohol. Even if you look like an old man, you may have your certificate checked. Besides, China people look young in their eyes, so remember to bring your certificate if you buy tobacco and alcohol.

Traveling in the United States is very convenient. Do some homework in advance and plan better, and there will be no problem.

Of course, there are many problems to pay attention to when traveling abroad. Aside from the more traditional precautions, I can think of several special points when traveling in the United States:

1. Be careful when entering the country.

In recent years, the US Customs has conducted a particularly serious investigation on China people. Therefore, when you first arrive in the United States and pass through the US Customs, you must pay attention to

never taking pictures in the customs area, although it is in all countries.

Check the things in your mobile phone clearly, and don't have sensitive photos, pictures, WeChat expressions and chat records. Before, many China tourists were repatriated because of their mobile phones. For example, there was Huang Tu on WeChat, sensitive political topics about the United States were mentioned in WeChat chat, and friends were joked on their mobile phones that they wanted to stay in the United States and had an immigration tendency, and so on. < P > 2. Know the security situation in many ways before leaving. < P > The United States is very big, and every state and city and even the streets will have completely different security situations. In some places, the security situation will be very good, while in many places, it is not. Therefore, it is recommended to know the local public security in various ways before going to your destination. For example, you can often see the detailed crime rate in the area by querying the website of the local police station. If your English is not good, you can ask a local guide or friend.

The security situation is usually divided into many categories, such as gun crimes, the probability of street robbery, fraudulently carrying passengers in the face of tourists, or whether it is safe to go out at night. It's good to know before deciding how to avoid the problem.

No matter where you are, you are a stranger in a foreign country. I suggest you go out less at night and don't join in the fun in crowded places. In recent years, the terrorist incidents have always been committed in a good location with many people and a good time.

3. Keep an open mind

The United States is really a relatively open country. If you want to have a happy and smooth trip to the United States, I suggest you communicate with local people enthusiastically, and you will have a wonderful journey!

It's summer vacation, and more and more parents are taking their children on vacation to travel. Now many people will choose to travel to the United States. So what do you need to pay attention to when you are away from home for a long time and in a foreign country? The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has given you some precautions, and now I will help you sort them out:

1. You need to buy medical insurance and personal accident insurance in advance. As we all know, medical expenses in the United States are very expensive, and accidents often happen suddenly. If there is no relevant insurance, once an accident occurs, the medical expenses may be a huge sum, so it is necessary to buy insurance.

2. Try to avoid going out alone at night, don't go to remote places, and don't go to inaccessible places for curiosity. You may know from watching the news in the market that there are no frequent cases of shooting, robbery and theft. Once you encounter an accident, remember to treat it calmly. Personal safety is more important than money and other things. Once you encounter a case, you should call 911 and insist on speaking Chinese to get Chinese services.

4. When entering the country, you should obey the instructions of the relevant law enforcement officers of the US Customs to make routine inspections, answer relevant questions rationally, objectively and restrained, and make explanations;

5. At the airport, you should respect the instructions of law enforcement officers and airport-related staff, do not bring any contraband, assist in security inspection and maintain security inspection order;

6. Minors under the age of 16 cannot enter the country alone and need to be accompanied by their parents. If only one of them is accompanied, they need to bring the written authorization of the other party. If they are accompanied by immediate family members or friends, they need to hold the written authorization of both parents. At the same time, it is recommended that they be written in English and notarized;

7. In order to protect the lost photos, it is recommended to keep copies of the passport information page and visa page. Once the passport is lost, call the police immediately and reissue it in time. Don't panic;

8. Don't trust fraudulent phone calls.

My wife and I paid for our trip to the United States at a domestic travel agency, and we feel that some lessons are worth reminding our first-time friends: First, in Las Vegas, the tour guide will sell you tickets for some performances, so you should check whether the performances are worth watching. If it's an ordinary song and dance, I don't think it's worth watching, it's not original and it's a waste of money. Secondly, there is a grand canyon near Las Vegas called Colorado, which is very famous in the world and a must-visit. There is also a program to tour in the air by small plane. I don't think this project is worth participating in. First, it costs a lot. Secondly, when I came to the Grand Canyon, I went to Las Vegas by plane (civil aircraft). I can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Grand Canyon and take clear photos on the plane, so it is totally unnecessary to see the Grand Canyon by small plane!

Third, traveling with a group often has a lot of time for you to wander around freely, and you will get lost if you are not careful. Once, my wife and I went shopping in Buffalo after dinner, and we wandered late. As a result, we got lost. We didn't have a map and couldn't find our hotel. We were at a loss. Suddenly, I remembered that I had taken a photo of the hotel gate with my digital camera before dinner, so I took out my camera and found out the photos on the plane to ask the taxi driver for directions before I found the hotel where the tour group stayed. Therefore, the safest thing for friends who don't know English is to look for opportunities in every hotel.

Traveling everywhere is the same,

It's no different from China.

What you should pay attention to is guarding against theft and robbery.

It's mainly to visit remote places less at night, and

to respect local customs and habits.

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. There are foreign currency exchange service counters at international airports. Foreign currency or traveler's checks can also be exchanged in many banks and large hotels.

At present, online credit cards can use China UnionPay cards in many cities in the United States, such as new york, Los Angeles, Hawaii, San Francisco, Washington, and Las Vegas. UnionPay USA 24-hour service hotline 866-567-5516. Tips: Before leaving the country, you can bring your ID card and a copy to the nearest bank that can handle foreign exchange business.

Every China resident can exchange the equivalent of US$ 5, or equivalent foreign currency every year. Please refer to the information given by the bank staff or the bank inquiry hotline for the specific foreign exchange information and business outlets.

second, the problem of tipping is almost in the United States.
