Notes:
■ When you are in a foreign land, backpackers who travel independently must bear in mind the ancient adage "You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others":
■As long as you ask for help, no one will ask for help from you. For example, when renting a car, you ignore the person asking you to rent a car and choose the car and driver yourself. This way the safety factor will be higher and it will be easier to bargain.
■Don’t tell strangers your destination casually, and don’t casually say you are alone.
■When meeting a group of strangers, it is generally safer if there are women among them.
■Always pay attention to what others are saying.
■It is best not to arrive at your destination at night. If it is really late, you would rather stay at the train station.
■When chartering a car, you must sign a contract, and do not pay the entire car payment, but reserve 30% no matter what.
■Don’t expect to go back.
■Don’t tip indiscriminately, as this will not only ruin the market, but also allow drivers to develop malicious intentions.
■When encountering danger or danger, be calm and determined to overcome difficulties.
■The accuracy of the information is very important to the success of the journey, so be sure to collect comprehensive information before departure.
