This page is for some ideas for backpackers. People think about backpackers are like hippies, but now the major of backpackers are gap-year college and university students who want to enjoy the world atmosphere. If you have common sense, you can feel a lot of culture shocks, and be a witness of different sides of the world!
Here are some very common questions and answers:
Here are some very common questions and answers:
Notice: These answers are not absolute because each country has each rule, culture and common sense. Please make sure what you want to do, or specific plans with your motivations, and try to get your new frontiers.
Q1: I maybe have a lot of time when I get the airport. What can I do?
A1: At first, you should get your hotel or hostel if you don't have any specific reasons.
"Maybe" you have time. In fact, after 911 was happened, many countries changed their laws for travelers. In some airports in the world, you need to wait more than 1 hour in front of the immigration offices.
After you pass the immigration office at the airports, you may feel a little bad because of the traffic system to downtown. In some countries, some scalpers may wait for you. Therefore, if you have time after you get the airport, don't feel at ease until you reach your room of your hotel or hostel.
Normally, hotels and hostels are near the scenic or purposeful locations. You can talk with the receptionist of your hostels or hotels, and find places which you can visit.
Q2: Do I need a calculator?
A2: No. You don't need to bring.
You have a lot of alternatives. If you want to calculate for the currency exchange, or you want to figure out how long do you need to get your distention, you can use your cellphone. If you separately bring a Kindle Fire, iPod, or Android pad, you can download apps before you go to travel.
You can also use the Internet browser to calculate.
Ex. You want to buy 4 packs of candy. Each costs $2.79. The tax rate is 9.5%. How much do you need to pay?
1. Open Google Search.
2. Input the formula on the search box: 4*2.79*1.095
3. Press "Enter"
Then you can get the answer. In this case, it's 12.2202. Normally, the fraction is round off. Therefore, the answer is $12.22.
(I'll add some very fundamental questions and answers that I had before or heard from backpackers little by little.)
