HOTEL BATHROOMS
When you check into a hotel room, make sure you flush the toilet before you unpack your Rolex replique pas cher. You'd rather let the front desk know if the toilet doesn't work before you use it.

DRINKING THE WATER
If staying more than two weeks in a country with suspected food or water, go for it! The worst symptoms the average person gets is a day or two of diarrhea (usually none) and you'll find that the local cuisine is always cheaper and better tasting than that found in tourist restaurants. As a plus, your new-found gastronomic freedom will greatly expand your available travel destinations to virtually anywhere in the country, and you'll make more local friends instead of hobnobbing with other tourists.

KILOMETERS TO MILES AND VICE VERSA
To convert miles to kilometers, double the number of miles four times, then divide by ten. To convert kilometers to miles, halve the number of km four times, then multiply by ten. Depending on how much rounding you need to do in your replique montre Breitling Avenger, this should give an answer within 1% of the actual figure. Also works to convert between MPH and KMPH
