41. Stay as close as possible to Indian community. Make friends, socialize. You are all alone out there, so better make few friends who can be with you in thick and thin.
42. Ask your friends / colleagues about reliable taxi services / public transportation. if anyone know of any driver who is good, honest and reliable, know him personally.
43. Do not dispose off plastics (bottles / cans etc). Give it back in recycling station and they give you cashback which can be used for buying grocery stores in supermarkets. for eg: if you are travelling to Germany, government there has installed machines that takes back used plastic bottles and recycle / re-use them. Customers are benefited through cashbacks for the plastics given back.

44. Avoid eating outside. You might end up creating a big hole in your wallet. Once in a while is Okay but not too frequently.
45. Do not lend money to anyone. See how much is the saving interest rate in international banks. if you think its not fetching you good returns, better transfer the money in Indian bank account and invest.
46. Keep all the bills with you during your stay. You can show the bills in your company back in India and get reimbursements.
47. Carry your ipad / ipod / kindle if you want to.
48. Carry camera, your choice.
49. Carry phone charger and USB cables
50. Search for Indian / Asian Stores / markets where you can buy household items.
51. Do not carry washing powders / detergents abroad. Washing clothes using common machines is cheap abroad.
52. Carry a diary with you all the time even while travelling to office. Or make notes on your phone (i find diary easy to use and handle)
53. Carry biscuits / snacks only if you want to.
54. Carry your glasses.
55. Carry handkerchiefs
I'll keep adding to to the list. You can help me by adding more items to the list. I look forward to your comments.
I hope you found this 3 post series helpful.
