Most of these tips are common sense, and you probably practise them in your own country, but they can make a real difference.
紧急情况
In an emergency that requires ambulance, police or fire services dial 999 from any telephone. 非紧急情况者,请与当地警察局取得联系。
保险
We strongly advise that you take out adequate insurance before you leave to cover you for any health and medical issues, and also for theft or damage to your belongings.
