Safety rules of American immigrant life

First of all, I am not familiar with foreign countries.

Don't show your money. Don't take your luxurious life experience at home abroad, so as not to be coveted by gangsters. When you go out, you must be modest and pragmatic. When you enter the country, you must ask the customs to ensure your personal safety.

Try not to stay out too late at night. Especially if you have no friends, you must take the bus system alone or walk home alone. Don't act alone unless necessary, carry your mobile phone with you for easy contact. Even if you don't have a mobile phone, you should make sure that the nearest public phone is available in an emergency. And remember the American emergency number, the number is 9 1 1.

Second, home safety.

Do not open the door at home. If you are a stranger or claim to repair your mobile phone, etc. Even if there is an appointment, let the visitor show his ID card and open the door after confirmation. If you meet a salesman, you can decline. Don't be wary just because the newcomer is a woman. If outsiders come to repair things at home, they will be accompanied by friends or inform neighbors and landlords. Before going out to sleep at night, check whether the gas switch and all doors and windows are locked. When you encounter a suspicious person, car or situation, you should inform the police, and don't be curious to intervene. If you lose the key, you should inform the person who also owns the key as soon as possible and ask the landlord to replace the new lock as appropriate. Copies of important documents should be kept, and the numbers of certificates and credit cards should be recorded separately. Generally, credit card companies have departments to deal with lost cards. Write down the phone number and report the loss immediately if you accidentally lose it.

Third, driving safety.

Take the subway, remember the route and transfer place in advance before going out, and bring a map. Remember! This map is urgently needed. Maps are hung in subway stations and carriages. Don't open maps in carriages and streets unless absolutely necessary. If you get lost in the subway station and take the wrong line, you can check the map posted in the carriage. Due to scheduling problems or other factors, the driving route will change or stop, and passengers will be notified by radio on the bus. If it's still unclear, you can ask the conductor.

Fourth, road safety.

When you first arrive in a different place, you should be familiar with the places you often need to go in and out and their surrounding environment as soon as possible to avoid involving unsafe areas. If you go to a place for the first time, you should know or ask your friends about it in advance. Be confident when walking during the day. Even if you get lost, try to be calm and don't write your nervousness on your face. Better bring some cash. Although some emergency calls are free of charge, you can prepare copper coins for emergencies and call your friends for help. Files should be placed in less conspicuous places, such as inner pockets. If someone accosts in the car, they can leave quickly in the opposite direction to their driving direction. Beware of strangers asking for directions and keep your distance from them. If there is any suspicious phenomenon, don't enter the house and notify the police.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) building safety

The stairwell of a building is generally hidden, so try to use the elevator. If you need to go in and out of buildings frequently, you should be familiar with the terrain and the location of safety measures. When you are alone in the office, lock the door after entering and check whether there is anyone in the house. The floor, office number and telephone number of the building guard should be informed. If you need to go out, lock the door even if you return for a short time. If you find the passengers suspicious before entering the elevator, don't enter.

Extended reading: ten reasons why the United States attracts immigrants

1, the difference between China and the United States, the United States has blue sky and white clouds every day.

Big cities and small cities, except rainy days, are almost all white clouds and blue sky. No matter in large and medium-sized cities such as Chicago, Los Angeles and St. Louis, or in small cities such as Orlando, Montgomery, Monroe and Mobile, except for a few rainy days, the sky I have seen is blue almost every day. Compared with Beijing and Shanghai, blue sky and white clouds are rare. In the United States, blue sky and white clouds "see you every day", which makes people envy and hate.

There is no dust in the air in America.

When I go back to the hotel or residence every night, there is almost no dust on my shoes, and there is no black dirt in my nostrils when I wash my face. The water after washing your face is still clear. Looking around offices and houses, inside tourist attractions and on both sides of expressways, there are almost no exposed land, construction sites and dusty trucks. You can only see lawns and green Woods.

It's very kind of Americans who have differences between China and America.

In American cities or villages, whether you meet a hotel waiter, a supermarket salesperson, a school teacher, a policeman, a driver, a cleaner or a doorman, you will say "Hello", "Good morning/afternoon" and "Nice to meet you" every time you meet. When I do what I should do, I get "thank you" and "you are so kind" almost every time; When I say "thank you", I always get the answer of "you're welcome" or "I'm honored".

4. Differences between China and the United States The United States always gives way to driving.

In the United States for so many days, I have never seen the phenomenon of driving to grab roads, traffic jams and running red lights. An American friend said that the United States has two "always give way" principles: curves always give way to straight cars and cars always give way to pedestrians. Even if pedestrians cross the road in violation of traffic regulations, cars must stop immediately and politely let pedestrians cross the road first. Fighting with pedestrians is considered incredible by Americans. In addition, when Americans take a bus, even the passengers in the back seat consciously fasten their seat belts. Like the United States, which has the largest number of cars in the world, more than 90% of highways are free, and the traffic accident rate and traffic mortality rate are low, which is inseparable from these behaviors of Americans.

The difference between China and the United States is that the food and clothing prices in the United States are too cheap.

Community support services are very mature in both urban and rural areas of the United States. There are well-known supermarket chains such as Wal-Mart, voegelin, Sears and Wendy's. In these supermarkets serving the vast majority of the population in the United States, the food prices are very cheap: a 2-liter bottle of cola is less than 1 USD, an 8-inch pizza with 1 USD is only 2 USD, and sometimes the special price is 1 USD, and a banana with 1 lb is only 0.7 USD, 1 lb (about 0.7. A lobster 1 pound is less than $ 10, a bucket (400 ml) of Haagen-Dazs ice cream is only $3.50, and a bag of bread (for a family of four to stutter) is less than $2 ... Besides "eating" is very cheap, "wearing" is surprisingly cheap: 1 T-shirt is less than. 1 a pair of international LEE jeans costs only $30, 1 a pair of brand sports shoes generally does not exceed $40 ... Compared with the ultra-low "food and clothing" expenditure, American residents can buy food for their families for a week with a monthly income of more than $3,000, and clothes for a year with a few tens of dollars.

6. The difference between China and the United States is that American food is mostly "(organic)".

Most foods in American supermarkets are (organic), and there are striking (organic) green circular signs on the outer packaging, so consumers can buy and eat with confidence. Unlike the domestic "aristocratic food" with the soaring price of organic notes, the organic food in the United States is still "good quality and low price" and is a civilian food that ordinary people can afford.

7. The difference between China and the United States is that tap water in the United States can be directly drunk.

In America, tap water can be drunk directly! This rule applies to all hotels, restaurants, offices, families and even public toilets in the United States. Unlike domestic tap water, which usually has a strong smell of bleaching powder, American tap water is colorless and tasteless, just like ordinary mineral water. Every morning, before washing your face and brushing your teeth with tap water, you can drink a large cup directly, which saves the trouble of boiling water every day.

8. Differences between China and America There are also Wal-Mart and McDonald's in American towns.

Alabama, where I lived during my stay in the United States, is the hometown of Forrest Gump, the hero of the movie Forrest Gump, and its economic strength ranks lower among the 50 states in China. ) Monroeville is a small town with a population of just over 6,000. In the center of the town, there is a Wal-Mart supermarket with an area of hundreds of acres and an internal area of tens of thousands of square meters. The types of goods and the cleanliness of the environment in supermarkets are no different from those in big cities.

9. the difference between China and the United States: American cities are deserted on weekends.

In China, the city is the busiest on weekends. Shopping, shopping, leisure and entertainment all go out on weekends and flock to shopping malls, shopping centers and entertainment places in the city center. The downtown business district is the most popular and the traffic jam is the most serious. According to the habit of China people, I drove to Birmingham on Saturday and found that there were fewer pedestrians in the downtown area than usual. After dinner, I went to the local main commercial street. Unexpectedly, just after 8 o'clock, almost all the shops were closed, and the glass doors of the shops were pasted with the words "Business hours: Monday to Friday, 10 am to 6 pm, Saturday morning, 65438+". After the next morning, 10, when I came to the main commercial street again, the whole street was empty, and indeed no shops opened for business. Then I drove to Montgomery, 2 hours away from Birmingham, and found that downtown Montgomery at 1 pm was a real "empty city". Standing in the circular fountain square in the city center, I looked at all the radial streets. There is hardly anyone in Fiona Fang for several kilometers, and the whole city is a little "scary" in silence, which reminds me of the scene of I am a Legend starring will smith. I finally met a pedestrian and asked him, only to know that weekends are the time for Americans to meet God (go to church), reunite with their families and watch baseball. In the minds of many Americans, "seeing God is more important than making money. Family reunion is more important than going out on weekends. "

10, the difference between China and the United States, American ice water is always free.

In the United States, ice is everywhere, supermarkets sell bagged ice, and American refrigerators store ice at home. Whether eating at home or in a restaurant, Americans are used to adding ice cubes to various drinks, such as iced coke, iced coffee, iced tea, iced lemon juice ... and of course, ice water. In the United States, McDonald's, KFC, Burger King and other fast food restaurants, as well as China, Italian, French restaurants and other restaurants, drinks are charged, but ice water is always free. According to my many observations, some "thrifty" Americans will order "free" ice water after meals, and the waiters are used to it. They never look at stingy customers.
