(Matt is going on holidays to Brazil. Read this page from his guide book.)
Brazil is a beautiful country and you will have a wonderful holiday. Make sure you follow this advice.
Safety
If you lose your passport(护照), your holiday will be ruined, so be careful with it. It is a good idea to buy a money belt. This is a special belt with pockets that you wear under your clothes. It is useful for keeping your money and passport safe.
It is easy to get lost in Brazil’s big cities so make sure that you always carry your hotel’s address with you.
Health
It is very important to check what vaccinations(疫苗) you need to have before you travel to any country. Your doctor can tell you which ones you need to have for Brazil.
Insects can be a problem in Brazil. Some of the insects bite, so you should take insect repellant(驱虫剂) with you. You should also take some medicine with you. If you have a headache or a stomachache, you might find it difficult to buy the right medicine.
Language
Portuguese(葡萄牙语)is Brazil’s national language so a Portuguese guidebook would be useful. It will help you communicate with local people and it will also help you discover local food. Good guidebooks have many parts for directions, food, shopping and health problems.
What to take
Brazil is a warm country so you will need T-shirts, shorts and sunglasses, but if you want to visit different parts of the country, you will need a coat and strong shoes. The country has many mountains, so it can be much cooler in these places.
Money
Brazil’s money is called the Real. You can use a credit card（信用卡） in most shops and restaurants but you should also make sure you have enough money so you can buy things in markets.
