Get trustworthy2about wherever you're visiting. Find out everything, from the local laws to any travel warnings （including crime and security warnings）. Make your plan according to the information.
▷Review the escape route in your hotel room
Let's be honest—when you check into a hotel room, you're more 3beds or swimming pools than studying the map on the back of your door. But before you get too settled in, you should take a quick look at the emergency（紧急情况） escape routes. You'll be glad you did if an emergency arises in the middle of the night.
▷Prepare a copy of your passport
Before you leave, get a copy of your passport, take a photo of it to save on your cell phone, and email it to yourself. That way, if you need your passport while out （but it's locked up in your hotel safe）, you'll have all your information. Plus, if it's stolen, getting a replacement will be much 4.
▷Confirm（确认） visitors with the hotel desk
You're in your hotel room and there's a knock at the door from someone saying he is the worker in the hotel. 5you let this person in, call down to the front desk to make sure.
▷Save emergency numbers
Find out what the local emergency hotlines are and save them to your phone. Also6the phone numbers of your country's embassies and save those addresses as well.
