| What to do when got lost while traveling abroad? |
While traveling abroad, self-serviced or in a tour group, you may find you are in a place unfamiliar to you and even though you are careful enough, something unhappy do occasionally happens--- you may get lost.
What to do when get lost?
• Don't get panic. Stay where you are or where your tour guide wished you to wait. DO NOT go back to the place where you got off the tour bus unless the group leader has told you to do so in advance.
• If you are away from your group for some time and you don't know where the group is going next, you can call the group leader and take a taxi to catch up with them.
• If you don't have your hotel address on you and have neither your hotel telephone number nor the group leader's phone number, you can call home and ask your family or friends to help you contact your home tour agency so that you'll get the group leader's phone number or where the group is going next.
• Go to the local police, embassy or local sightseeing authorities for help. If you forget the name of your hotel, try to recall the surroundings of the hotel. By the way, some people may pretend that they are policemen.
• Do not believe stranger or someone who is too much ready to help. As Chinese tourists tend to bring much cash on them, some unlicensed foreign tour guides would stand at roadsides waiting to cheat Chinese tourists. |

Cash, traveler's check and credit card |
Better not bring with you more cash than you need. You can keep your extra cash in your hotel safe. Do not show your money when you are traveling. Take out a small sum when you pay. Be sure that you cash is safe. For a reissue of your traveler's checks when necessary, you need to keep your application copy in another place, and for a quick reissue, you need to put down the number of used checks and sign the application in advance for approval. For a reissue of your credit card when necessary, you also need to put down your card number and valid date. |
Passport |
When traveling abroad, you should bring your passport with you or put it in your hotel safe. In case of loss of your passport, you can bring with you 2 spare photos and put down you passport number and place of issue for an application of a reissue. |
Airplane ticket |
| Before you set out, you'd better put down the phone numbers and fax numbers of the local air company and the travel agency where you bought you air ticket. You may also put down the number of your booked tickets. |
| Expensive belongings and carry on luggage |
Take good care of your belongings at the lobbies of airports and hotels, as these are places you may get stolen, robbed or your bags stealthily substituted. |
| Consigning your luggage |
| Consigned luggage can sometimes not be received. It could have been loaded on another plane or shipped to another airport. This may happen if you do not tear off the used tags on your luggage. |
| Thunderstorm weather attention |
It is quite unlikely that you get lightening struck in a rain. But nobody is sure it won't happen, as lightning does reportedly strike people. The following is a few useful tips:
Don't hide yourself under big rocks, cliffs or cave entrances from lightening, as electric currents may make electric arcs when they pass by these places, which can hurt people hiding there. If the cave is deep enough, try to hide inside it.
Don't ride a bike or a horse or fly a kite in a lightening rain. A flying kite can bring down the lightening to you. Don't stay in a lonely house in the field. Crowded buildings are nice places to hide from the lightening. Don't stand on a high place or under a tree. Keep a distance away from metal objects, as smaller arcs can come off a few meters when the lightening hits the metal objects. The heat from the arcs will explode quickly and make shock waves in the air. The loud sound waves can also hurt your lungs. A car is an ideal place to hide in. The lightening can scarcely hurt anyone in a car even if it strikes on it. Come back to the shore if you are swimming or in a boat. Hide under the deck if you are in a big boat, but don't touch anything that is metal. |

emergency procedures |
Something unexpected may happen when you are traveling in the field. Here are some emergency tips:
When hurt by a poisonous snake or insects
If hurt by a poisonous snake in the field, the sufferer may bleed, get partly swollen up, and feel painful. He may die in a few hours if badly hurt. When these happen, act quickly and bandage the wound up with a handkerchief, cloth or a necktie so that the poison will not spread. Then cut the wound with a sterilized knife until it is 1cm long and 0.5cm deep. Suck the cut to get out the poison. If the mucous membrane in the mouth is not injured, you don't need to worry about the poison, as the poison can be neutralized by the digestive liquid. If stung by insects, put some ammonia in the wound after cold compressed with ice or cold water. If stung by a bee, pull out the sting with tweezers and put on the wound some ammonia or milk.
Fracture
When a fracture or luxation happens, get it splinted and cold compressed. If it is a fall from a tree or cliffs and the backbone is injured, put the sufferer on a flat and strong board to fasten the upper body before taking him to hospital.
Traumatic bleeding
If you are cut by a knife when preparing a meal in the field, you can wash the wound with clean water and bandaged it up with a handkerchief. If it is a slight bleeding, you can stop the bleeding in a pressing method. Release the press once every 10 minutes 1 hour later to keep normal blood circulation.
Food poisoning
Rotten or turning bad food can lead to stomachache or diarrhea, or even a fever and debility. When this happens, try to drink more beverage or salty water, or disgorge the food by pressing your throat.
