When you go to travel you should know…

當(dāng)你去旅游時(shí)你需要知道的……

1.Change Your Money At Home

在家換好你的錢

Olivia says that carrying a large amount of cash makes you vulnerable to pickpockets. Agree. She says it’s better to rely on your ATM and credit cards. Er, I would say it depends. In a lot of places in Asia, ATM machines are hard to come by and may not accept all ATM cards. In some resorts and hotels in Asia, credit cards are also not accepted. The exchange rate may also be far worse, depending on the location. Unless you’re staying in a posh destination, never assume that e-transactions will work. Do your research before departure and prepare accordingly.

奧利維亞說(shuō)身攜巨款的你很容易讓你吸引到小偷的注意。我是完全贊同的。她說(shuō)比起現(xiàn)金來(lái)，你的自動(dòng)取款機(jī)和信用卡更值得信任。嗯，個(gè)人認(rèn)為這應(yīng)因地而異。在亞洲的很多地方，自動(dòng)取款機(jī)并不是總能與你擦肩而過(guò)，而且也并非你所有的卡都可以在這些自動(dòng)取款機(jī)上使用。在亞洲的一些旅游勝地和飯店，信用卡是不可用的。而由于地區(qū)的不同，利率的兌換問(wèn)題更是令人頭痛。除非你的目的地很現(xiàn)代，很繁華，否則永遠(yuǎn)不要假想那里的網(wǎng)上交易平臺(tái)運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)良好。在出發(fā)之前一定要做足相應(yīng)的準(zhǔn)備。

2.Deals on Last-Minute Booking

堅(jiān)持到最后一秒再預(yù)定

Last minutes deals are indeed becoming more and more rare. Better to watch out for sales and promotions to save on airfares and hotel bookings.

最后一秒預(yù)定這個(gè)方法現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)開(kāi)始顯得越來(lái)越重要。為了節(jié)省機(jī)票和住宿費(fèi)，最好時(shí)刻注意哪些打折或是讓利的信息

3.Locals Are Experts

當(dāng)?shù)厝瞬攀钦嬲膶＜?/p>

Absolutely not. In fact, in a lot of cases, locals are foreigners to their own territory. In fact, if you’re heading off the beaten track, locals can’t even understand why, out of all the possible places in the world, you would be interested in their locality.

這是完全錯(cuò)誤的。事實(shí)上，在很多的情況下，對(duì)于自己的土地而言，本地人才是真正的外國(guó)人。當(dāng)你被一件對(duì)于當(dāng)?shù)厝藖?lái)說(shuō)極其常規(guī)的事阻擾時(shí)，當(dāng)?shù)厝松踔敛粫?huì)明白這個(gè)世界上有這么多的你可以去的地方，為什么你會(huì)對(duì)他們的地方產(chǎn)生興趣。

4.You Get What You Pay For

付了錢，你就是老大

No, particularly in Asia, there are really good deals to be had, some worth far more than you have paid. And vice versa: some expensive digs aren’t just worth the top dollar they ask for. Do your research, and look for online reviews.

這是錯(cuò)誤的想法。特別是在亞洲，有許多的很好的交易。有些的確是物超所值，但反之也亦然。有些貴的離譜的東西并不一定值那個(gè)價(jià)。先研究一下，并且上網(wǎng)做好準(zhǔn)備工作。

5.Buy Extras Ahead

事先用完你的錢

When buying packages, you will always be lured into getting a “package”， agents telling you it will come out cheaper that way. But, sometimes it pays to be prudent and cross the bridge when you get there。

當(dāng)你買著大包小包時(shí)，你很有可能會(huì)被引誘著買更多的東西。經(jīng)銷商們會(huì)告訴你如果你怎么怎么買就可以獲得更多的實(shí)惠。但，當(dāng)你買東西的時(shí)候最好謹(jǐn)慎些，最好能夠逃出他們的魔爪。
