Prepare for a Holiday in a Country You Know Nothing About

The things that actually cause problems on a first visit to a country are rarely on the standard packing list: the cultural norm everyone assumes you know, the logistical system that is nothing like home, the three words that are more useful than a phrasebook. This covers the preparation that matters, before departure rather than on the way there.
