Be Safe In Foreign Land

If you are visiting a foreign country you check on the following things. Find out the addresses and phone numbers of your country's embassy. This has to be done before you are starting from your country. If something bad happens to you, they are the only person you can contact. Try to be polite and have good manners. This goes a long way, no matter what country you are in. If you are polite, locals will also be. Don't draw attention to yourself. Don't draw attention to yourself, so dress ostentatiously and don't wear flashy jewellery.
If you are planning on staying in a particular place for sometime, keep alerting your routine. Don't leave or come back to your hotel every day at the same time and don't take the same route everyday. Your wallets and purses attract attention. Keep your money in a safe place like a money-belt under your clothes or an ankle-belt that is worn under your socks.
