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.

48. Carry camera, your choice.

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.

53. Carry biscuits / snacks only if you want to.
54. Carry your glasses.
