When I was starting to go locations years ago, I was as well timid to technique strangers for anything as well as relied only on myself to discover my method around towns as well as cities — even if that indicated wandering around unfamiliar blocks as well as dodgy alleys for hours. I believed I was always prepared anyway. however that’s the thing about traveling, you can never be prepared enough.

Where to go, where to go? perhaps Buddha has the answer.

1. get a multi-language map.
Let’s begin with the obvious, the ever dependable map. (Cue: Dora the Explorer – I’m the map, I’m the map…) If the country you’re checking out has its own alphabet, much better get a map that labels locations in both letters. This way, if the regional you’re gonna ask (say a cabbie or a regional you’re asking for directions), they might quickly figure out where you mean to go.

2. Ask a regional to compose it down for you.
Such is the question of the humble pen. If you’re staying at a hotel or hostel, ask the receptionist to compose down the name of the location you want to go to in the regional characters. No requirement to play charades with the taxi motorist if they’re written in letters that they understand.
3. download pictures of locations you want to visit.
You can print them out or save on your phone. When I was in Taipei, everybody we asked might not point us to Chiang Kai-shek Memorial maybe since we were stating it wrong. We wrote down the name to no effect. Spellings as well as pronunciations vary as well as they may be called in a different way in the vernacular. however a sure method to show your destination is to whip out a picture of it. If it’s a major landmark, there’s a huge possibility locals will acknowledge it as well as point you to the ideal direction.
Hey cabbie, we’d like to go here. Winterfell. Aici. Tu stii?
4. Take pictures of whatever important.
This way, I likewise have an additional copy of the info I want to keep. I normally enlist the assist of my DSLR or my globe iPhone5 for this. For example, the schedules of boats as well as the cost lists of trips as well as anything else I may need. In situation I lose the brochure, at least I have a soft copy in situation I think about it again.
In my trip to Hualien, Taiwan, I made a sidetrip in Taipei. My flight was arranged later that night so I didn’t book a hostel as well as opted with leaving my bags in a baggage locker at the train station. There are hundreds (if not thousands) of lockers scattered around the station as well as the very best method to paper as well as keep in mind which area, which aisle, as well as which certain locker I selected was to take pictures of the location as well as utilized them as my guide when I went back. Yes, I kept that receipt thingy with the locker number when I deposited my bags however I was terrified I would lose it while touring so I believed of taking a picture of it, too!
Taking a picture of my locker code coz I often do silly things like losing something as crucial as this.

Aș dori să am asta, vă rog.
5. Descoperiți felicitări regionale.
S -ar putea să vă întrebați, ce trebuie să terminați cu navigarea? Se pare că, multe, se pare. Vedeți, localnicii depun mult mai mult efort pentru a vă vorbi limba (și pentru a vă ajuta) dacă văd că încercați să vorbiți a lor. Aceste lucruri sunt apreciate de localnici că, chiar și atunci când nu vorbesc engleza, tind să fie mult mai disponibile pentru a da o mână de ajutor. Arată o mare credință, smerenie, precum și deschidere. Nu vă simțiți mult mai obligați să ajutați străinii care încep conversația cu „Kumusta?” Sau „Magandang Araw”, chiar dacă nu o afirmă, nu? Este la fel de bine al naibii de drăguț.
6. Întrebați doar.
Cereți doar instrucțiunile eficiente, omule. Privind în urmă, o mulțime de timp, L a fost pierdut nu de la bariera lingvistică în sine, cu toate acestea încăpățânarea mea în refuzul de a -i cere pe străini direcții. Mi -am dat seama că localnicii sunt mult mai prietenoși, precum și mult mai primitoare decât le ofer un scor de credit pentru. mult mai frecvent decât nu, nu există niciun motiv să vă fie frică sau intimidat. Sunt gata să vă ajute, cu toate acestea, trebuie să o cereți mai întâi. Aveți nevoie să faceți prima mișcare.
Poate că această persoană înțelege unde te duci? Cei!
Locurile, precum oamenii, sunt provocatoare, precum și tind să modifice constant. Cu excepția cazului în care rămâneți suficient de mult, nu veți putea să o înțelegeți la fel de bine, precum și la fel de profund ca localnicii. De asemenea, atunci când vizitați, locațiile vă bombardează cu surprize, precum și experiențe neprevăzute, precum și înainte de a -l înțelege, ați pierdut în mijlocul tuturor, indiferent cât de pregătit credeți că sunteți. Dar, desigur, nu indică faptul că trebuie să nu fii pregătit.
