RocApply Tips:

  • Not everyone can speak English so learn as much of the local languages as you can
  • When going shopping, rather carry as little cash as possible. If you have Visa or MasterCard they may be ideal
  • When asking for directions, do it in a public place and be careful whom you approach.
  • Find time to learn more about products and local names
