6 . Here are some top tips for world travelers.

Travel light.    1     It’s no fun carrying a huge bag around a foreign city. Don’t take too many clothes and avoid heavy books and electrical equipment.

    2     Always keep your passport on you in an inside pocket or special travel belt. There may be thieves about. It’s a good idea to make a photocopy (复印件)of your passport and travel documents.

Transport sense.Don’t let go of your bags on the train.    3     There are always thieves on public transport. If you want to sleep,tie your bag to your arm. When you take a taxi, it’s a good idea to ask for the driver’s permit. Many foreigners pay too much money because they take unofficial taxis.

Keep clean. It’s a good idea to wear dark clothes because they hide the dirt while white clothes attract it! Make sure you have plenty of clean underclothes and deodorant (除臭剂).     4    

    5     You should always be polite and respectful towards the locals. Even if you find their habits and behaviour a bit strange, you shouldn’t show your feelings. Remember, you’re their guest.

C．You should carry a spare bag.
