Learn to protect yourself: safety in travel

"give yourself a walk-and-go trip" sounds wonderful, and many people are on the road because of it, but the romance of travel must have an important premise: safety.

A previous Weibo post about Chungking Mansion was going viral: @ Phoenix New Media [mainland female students were raped by Indian men in Hong Kong] Hong Kong media reported that two girls from Beijing came to Hong Kong for tourism and checked into a cheap hotel in Chungking Mansion in Tsim Sha Tsui. among them, a 21-year-old girl returned to her room with a bath towel after taking a bath in the public bathroom of the hotel the night before and was raped by an Indian man before locking the door. When the man was escorted away by the police officer, he made a V sign, which was outrageous. The victimized female student, from a well-known university in Beijing, was very emotional and kept crying bitterly. Travel, because it is out of touch with the familiar environment, is more likely to face danger. In 2011, Wei Yin, a 25-year-old girl from Guangzhou, disappeared after leaving home in Sichuan and Tibet in mid-April and was later confirmed to have been robbed and killed in Diqing, Yunnan. It is said that the place is quite remote, she took a passenger motorcycle, the killer is the motorcyclist, probably to rob money. Travel is the expansion of life and education, but if it is at the cost of living, what is the meaning of travel? Although we should not give up eating for fear of choking or hiding at home for fear of accidents, we should not be careless and careless. I am also a person who often travels alone, but I have always been very careful. I don't feel so tired. I just think it is necessary. Share your experience for travelers to learn:

do your homework before leaving. Do not travel rashly, unfamiliar places are also divided into many situations, such as war-torn places, such as disputes between the two countries, places that are unfriendly to the Chinese, it is best not to get involved. I am not interested in the Philippines, even if there are cheap air tickets, even if there is beautiful scenery there. In addition, in safe places, there may also be unsafe areas, and it is necessary to understand the necessary taboos, such as Malaysians do not like to be touched their heads, such as halal temples where women are not welcome, especially women in scantily clad clothes. Respect local customs and avoid unnecessary trouble caused by poor communication. To pay attention to events at travel destinations, such as wanting to go to India, you can't ignore the frequent rapes in India. You need to know about emergency calls in your area, such as calling the police. Even if you don't understand, you must act as if you understand. When I went to Singapore, when I was cheated into buying a phone card in Little India, I took pictures and threatened the shopkeeper to call the tourist center to complain. He was afraid and immediately returned the money to me. Don't put cowardice on your face. Don't think that innocence can attract help from others, sometimes it may be grandma wolf. Even if you are not involved in the world, don't let others see it.

Don't put too much faith in luck.  before there is an accident, everyone will think that he is the lucky one blessed by heaven, but the gangster may not believe it either. In places that are not safe enough, don't be too bold, don't take a taxi alone at night, don't linger in nightclubs, and don't be accosted by strangers. When I was in Singapore, I met an Indian on the road, started talking, asked me where I was coming from, and invited me to have a drink. I pretended that my English was so poor that I couldn't understand what he was saying. Maybe others are well-intentioned, but you can't risk it.

when you are away from home, keep in touch with your family and friends.  every time I go out, I will tell my sister where I am going and when I will be back. If I am with a tour group, I will leave her the contact information of the travel agency and the tour guide, and I will tell her as soon as I come back. I sometimes add location information when I post on Weibo, which is actually to show where I am. During a trip to Xiamen, I had dinner several times at a sand tea noodle shop, and the shopkeeper asked someone to climb the mountain. It was a mom-and-pop shop with two children, so I didn't feel like a bad guy, so I went with him. Even so, I would still be a little wary. Weibo was frequently posted on the road, which was not only a record of the journey but also to maintain a channel with the outside world in the deep mountains and forests.

necessary self-defense equipment.  I usually take a Swiss Army knife with me when I go out. It's easy to use. If necessary, it's better than nothing. Of course, I don't want to use it, but that's the way it is. I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. A twig of Amway oral spray is also possible and has a variety of uses.

necessary preparation plan and emergency response capability.  I rode to Hainan in January 2012. I rode from Haikou to Sanya with an average of more than 100km a day. Lack of preparation, the cycling process is very difficult, it was already decided at that time if you really can not hold on, do not hold on, directly come back by bus or plane, the car can be thrown away. Some things should be considered before the trip, and some things may happen in the course of the trip, both of which are very important to people. In the process, you should know how to improvise (I originally wanted to write a book during my trip to Hainan. I gave up the idea after riding for a day and focused on cycling), and I had to give up what I should give up. Avoid suffering even greater losses because of lust for property (chest tightness for more than a month after returning from Hainan), nor do we have to stick to the original itinerary (several of us went directly back to Haikou from the Sanya train, and another group of people rode the middle route back to Haikou).

prepare relevant materials.  for materials such as passports, it is best to prepare one or more copies in addition to the original, including putting the electronic scanned copies in the mailbox or mobile phone, so that if the certificate is lost, it can be replenished in a relatively short period. I usually carry a paper notebook with my name and other information on the front page, which is used in case the phone can't be opened (the phone usually has a password). Travel insurance is also necessary, it is still not afraid of ten thousand just in case.

[  Don't show off your wealth, don't show off.  when women travel, they like to bring a lot of clothes and accessories because they have to take pictures, but this may make you a target for gangsters. Don't hang the camera around your neck, especially the expensive camera, don't look like a rich man on the outside. The gangster's eyesight is not so good, so he may not be able to tell whether it is a diamond or a diamond when robbing you. He often grabs it first, and if he finds that he has been tricked, he may become angry. Do not show too much vanity during the journey. If the whole trip is for vanity, you can join a luxury group and go in and out of five-star hotels, which is relatively safe. If you carry a lot of cash with you, don't show it again and again in front of others. Don't be too exposed to your clothes. The street is not a beach. If you are poor, you need to use public bathrooms, such as Chongqing Mansion. 

When you come out of public bathrooms, don't just wrap yourself in bath towels. You'd better still dress neatly and don't be afraid of trouble. Young women in literature and art should not believe in the film works too much. after artistic processing, the scenery is no longer the same, and a romantic journey in search of a dream may turn into a nightmare. I have also been to Chungking Mansion, and it came out very quickly during the day. It was too messy and uncomfortable.

correct travel attitude.  what on earth is the purpose of traveling? Everyone has a different purpose, and some people are looking forward to having an affair on the road. It is said that having an affair is also a kind of freedom, but if you are in danger because of it, it is up to the person concerned to judge whether it is worth it or not. Single girls had better be careful when traveling, especially not to drink with strangers and not to accept food and drink delivered by strangers. Choosing to be a sofa guest also requires careful inspection, and do not suffer because of being too kind-- there are always some people who think that it is wrong to doubt others, yes, not blindly doubt, but people should always learn to observe and analyze each other through some clues. Criminals do not always have the face of Huang Shiren, he may look like a Tang monk, a harmless look of human and animal, just turn around and reveal his fangs. If you are psychologically strong enough, please search for "Canadian mutilated body case Lin Jun". Please remember, you are going to travel, not to get sick, be robbed, killed, or eaten. On the premise of paying attention to safety and protection, you can enjoy the beauty of travel.
