Remember to be polite, check the weather and don't miss Big Ben.
Vocabulary for a Successful Trip
Please, thank you and excuse me.
When you are in a different country it is only right to know how to be polite in their language. Small words such as “may I have” will add a whole different tone to your request. This way people are more likely to be polite when speaking to you too!
Hi, hello and good morning.
Those words and sayings are also very important. You can use them with everyone! Well maybe not the King but still. Manners mean everything and a nice “hello” to the bus driver is most polite.
Help, hospital and lost.
These words are crucial for your safety and others. It is a must to be prepared to call for help and therefore knowing words like these will come in handy.
Directions
When in a new place phrases such as “Could you please tell me where this place is?” are most likely needed especially if you aren’t very handy with phones.

Tips and Tricks
Make a check list of everything you will need to pack.
This will help tons so the packing process won’t get out of hands. This way you will pack calmly and be more likely to remember everything.
Check the weather.
The weather in London is different and you should be aware of that. This will reassure a pleasant stay. It wouldn’t be nice to walk around in wet clothes all day or catch a cold after packing too light layers, now would it?
Take a look at the underground before heading there.
The underground is very tricky when you first glance at it so it’s important to know what you’re doing so chances of getting lost aren’t as major.
Look up a good and safe place to eat if you arrive late.
It isn’t very nice to start frantically looking for places to eat at after arriving at you’re place of stay. You must be tired, jetlagged and very hungry all at the same time. At this situation a place that you already have eaten at is a good choice.
