00:00The star rating of hotels is not always reliable, because the rating systems vary depending on the country.

00:05In Italy, for example, a hotel can receive 5 stars simply because it has an open reception 24 hours a day and receptionists who speak 3 languages.

00:14Instead of using the stars, rather look at the ratings or reviews.

00:18Late reservations can also allow you to benefit from better offers.

00:22If your stay is not urgent, try to book a room on the day of your stay.

00:25If the hotel is not complete, you will probably have a reduction.

00:28Hotel managers reduce the price of rooms at the last minute to fill them.

00:32It is also preferable to book directly from the hotel.

00:36Third-party websites often receive less good rooms or what is left.

00:39Hotels are also inclined to offer a reduced price if you book directly.

00:43Indeed, partner websites charge hotel fees.

00:46Once you are at the reception, it is likely that the hotel staff already knows you.

00:50Many hotels, especially high-end hotels, are doing a little research on their clients' social networks.

00:56Although it may seem a little scary, it is only so that they can see who you are and make your stay more comfortable.

01:01If your key is equipped with a magnetic tape, be careful not to put it near your mobile phone or your wallet.

01:07A powerful magnet, like the one on your phone, can erase your key, which means that you will not be able to enter your room.

01:12Ok, now that you are registered, go into your room.

01:15They watch you when you are in your room and when you are in the bathroom.

01:18No, I'm not talking about your 3-year-old children.

01:21One of the last things you think about when you go on vacation

01:24is that the room you are staying in may be equipped with hidden cameras.

01:27Not cool.

01:28To begin with, look in the most obvious places in your hotel room to see if you can find hidden cameras.

01:34According to some experts, if you don't see anything like that,

01:37then using your smartphone is enough for a basic verification sweep.

01:41Each camera has a lens and all lenses reflect light.

01:45Thus, a quick way to check for hidden cameras is to close all the curtains in the room and turn off the lights.

01:52Use the flashlight of your phone to direct it to places or potential objects where a hidden camera could be.

01:58One of the most obvious places is the smoke detector on the ceiling.

02:01Take a chair, point the flashlight straight at it and try to see if a red or blue light is reflected.

02:06You will have to do it slowly because the light must hit the lens at the correct angle so that you can see a reflection.

02:13Even a painting in the room can be a potential place for a hidden camera.

02:17Other objects can be lamps, a hole in the wall or a place in a closet.

02:22Another scary place to hide a camera is the mirror in the bathroom.

02:26This one is difficult to spot, so you have to be patient to inspect it.

02:30You can also use the camera of your phone to search for surveillance cameras that spy on you at night.

02:35These secret cameras emit infrared lights that the human eye cannot see, which allows them to function at night.

02:41You will have to turn off the lights and put the camera in selfie mode.

02:45The rear camera of most smartphones is equipped with an infrared filter, but not the front camera.

02:50You can try to point a television remote to the front camera and press one of the buttons to see it for yourself.

02:56If you see a bright red light on your screen, it means it's working.

03:00All you have to do is move your camera in the dark to see if you can find a bright light around.

03:06It will be good to do a second sweep to make sure you didn't miss anything.

03:09One of the best things you can do is download an app that shows you which devices are currently connected to the Wi-Fi you use.

03:17It can show which smartphone, laptop, smart TV and, in the worst case, which hidden cameras are connected.

03:24A radio frequency scanner can detect a wireless camera in the room, even if it is connected to its own Wi-Fi.

03:30However, this can be difficult due to the many wireless devices that encompass the waves.

03:35You can detect random signals even if you turn off all your devices and all the signals emitted by the wireless.

03:41Another technique you can use is to turn off the Wi-Fi when you enter the hotel room.

03:46Most cameras are connected to Wi-Fi, so they won't be able to work anymore.

03:50If you receive a call from the reception saying that the Wi-Fi is disabled in the room, it can be a warning signal.

03:56There is no reason for them to know if the Wi-Fi has been turned off on purpose.

04:00This could mean that the cameras are on the local Wi-Fi.

04:03When you connect for the first time to the Wi-Fi of your hotel room, be careful not to share your personal data.

04:09Now, what about the room in general?

04:12If you are not satisfied, you can easily ask to change it.

04:15If there are other rooms available, the manager will be happy to help you.

04:19Once you are settled, you will want to go to the bathroom to see all the pretty samples.

04:23But if you are a little ashamed to take free shampoos, know that not at all.

04:27The hotels actually want you to take them.

04:30The articles wear the hotel logo, so you advertise them for free if you put them at home.

04:36On the other hand, shampoos and towels, no, it's another story.

04:40Many hotels now add radio-frequency chips to be able to follow stolen items.

04:44The toothpaste is an article that you will probably not find in the bathroom of the hotel room.

04:49In cheap hotels, it is often too expensive to order because it is classified in the category of medical supplies.

04:54For luxury hotels, it is the opposite.

04:56They generally cannot find sophisticated enough toothpaste manufacturers to be available in their rooms.

05:02You can also see an ordinary phone next to the toilets.

05:06But it is actually a requirement of the AAA for hotels to be classified 4 diamonds.

05:11It is also a security element.

05:13If you slip on the wet floor or if you are stuck in the toilets for some reason, you can easily call for help.

05:20Taking the plane has become a routine for many people.

05:23But even the great travelers sometimes do not know what to never do on a plane.

05:29And to begin with, you never go barefoot.

05:31It is one of the golden rules of traveling by plane.

05:34Not to mention the unpleasant smells, the ground of the plane is very dirty.

05:41People suffering from contagious foot problems may have walked barefoot in the aisles before you.

05:46And it is very likely that there is a lot of dirt left by the previous passengers.

05:50And we are not even talking about the floor of the toilets.

05:54If your feet need a little freedom, take off your shoes.

05:57But at least keep your socks.

05:59Or wear a pair of light slippers.

06:02Do not forget that the pressurized air in the cabin is as dry as that of the Sahara desert.

06:07With only 20% humidity.

06:11This is why you may feel some discomfort in the skin after a flight.

06:15Wouldn't it be more fair to install air humidifiers in the cabin?

06:20In reality, the additional weight would cost too much money to airlines.

06:24In addition, the wing of the plane is mainly composed of aluminum and other metals.

06:28And humid air could cause corrosion.

06:31So do not forget to bring a moisturizing cream and use it during the flight.

06:35Always raise your tablet as soon as the plane begins to move on the tarmac.

06:39And never lower it during takeoff and landing.

06:42This is a security measure that guarantees that you and the other passengers

06:46would have a clear passage in case of emergency evacuation.

06:49In the same order of ideas, keep your seat upright during takeoff and landing.

06:54First of all, an inclined seat can seriously slow down an emergency evacuation

06:58because it blocks the person sitting behind.

07:01Then, the more you lean backwards,

07:04the more difficult it is to put yourself in a safe position during an emergency landing.

07:09Try to avoid sleeping during or just after takeoff and landing.

07:13First of all, this is not good for your health.

07:16The main problem is that the air pressure inside the cabin

07:19changes very quickly during these phases of the flight.

07:22And this affects the air pressure in your ears.

07:26It is therefore important to be vigilant during these phases,

07:29to relax and clear your ears, for example, by barking or swallowing frequently.

07:34Chewing chewing gum also works.

07:36If you sleep, you can't do it, which can cause permanent damage.

07:40And of course, there is the question of safety.

07:43Most accidents occur during takeoff and landing.

07:46If you sleep during these phases, you may not be alert enough in case of emergency.

07:52The following recommendation comes from the Environment Protection Agency.

07:57According to it, it is preferable not to drink hot drinks on the plane.

08:02The water used to make tea and coffee does not come from bottles.

08:05It is tap water.

08:07However, the plane's water tanks are often old and full of bacteria.

08:11In 2004, a study revealed that more than 12% of water samples contained harmful bacteria.

08:18If you still decide to drink a hot drink on the plane,

08:21never pour yourself coffee or tea.

08:25The on-board staff is trained at this age in the crowded aisles of a moving plane.

08:29You will thus avoid the risk of getting burned or burning other passengers.

08:33It is preferable not to order Coca-Cola on a plane.

08:37The pressure in the cabin causes a lot of foam.

08:39For obvious reasons, the stewardesses do not want to serve you a cup filled with foam.

08:44That's why they only fill half of the cup.

08:47Wait for the foam to fall back, then they finish pouring it.

08:50It can take long minutes.

08:53Keep your ventilator open.

08:55You will thus reduce the spread of germs.

08:58The planes are equipped with high-quality air filters.

09:00They retain up to 99% of germs suspended in the air.

09:04So you have nothing to fear.

09:06But don't forget to wipe your tablet.

09:08With eight times more bacteria than the toilet flush button,

09:11it is the dirtiest place on board.

09:14Another thing to avoid is to put your head on the window if you have a seat next to the window sill.

09:18You don't know who occupied your seat before you,

09:21and in any case, the window may be covered with germs.

09:27Avoid wearing flip-flops or high heels during a flight.

09:31Your survival could be at stake.

09:34Indeed, these two types of shoes make it very difficult to evacuate quickly from the plane.

09:40If you wear high heels, you will have to leave them behind anyway

09:43in case the crew would use emergency flip-flops during an evacuation.

09:48The heels may damage the flip-flops and you will have to remove them.

09:52Now ask yourself if you really want to get out of the plane barefoot.

09:57No?

09:58Then opt for robust shoes with a solid sole.

10:02In this case, you will not find yourself barefoot on a scorching tarmac or in the wild.

10:10Do not put heavy objects in the upper compartments.

10:13In the event of strong turbulence, these objects may not stay inside

10:17and, when falling, injure yourself or other passengers.

10:21This is why if it is difficult to lift an object to place it in the upper compartment,

10:25it is better to put it under the seat in front of you or elsewhere.

10:29Do not blame the pilot for a sudden landing.

10:32If you experience it in bad weather, it may be intentional.

10:36If the runway is covered with water or snow, the plane must touch the ground hard

10:40to break the water layer or avoid aquaplaning.

10:44Otherwise, the water could play the role of lubricant

10:46and the plane could neither brake nor respond to any command.

10:51Deploying an emergency flip-flop while there is no emergency is a very bad idea.

10:57This can lead to several-hour delays and cost thousands of dollars to airlines

11:02to put the flip-flop back in its container.

11:06If you wonder why someone would do such a thing,

11:08some seem to think that it will help them to get off the plane faster.

11:15Do not ignore the instructions of the staff to open the flip-flops' stores

11:18during take-off and landing.

11:20In case of emergency, this will allow them to see what is happening outside,

11:24assess the situation and act quickly by organizing the evacuation.

11:29You are having dinner in a fancy restaurant with a plate full of onion soup

11:33followed by a chocolate fondant.

11:36The waiter approaches you to ask you how your meal was

11:39and, with his mouth full, you show a satisfied expression

11:42and you make the gesture that everything is fine.

11:45You expect to see joy on the waiter's face,

11:47but he looks at you with a deep irritation.

11:50It turns out that in some countries,

11:52making a circle with your index and thumb does not necessarily mean OK.

11:56It can also mean zero or worthless.

11:59Instead of praising the food, you just said it was worthless.

12:03Oops!

12:04In Venezuela, Turkey and Brazil,

12:06it is a gesture of the hand that you should not use.

12:09In these countries, it is a sign that will offend almost everyone you show it to.

12:13Just show them your biggest smile

12:16and wait to have finished what you have in your mouth to thank them properly.

12:22In the whole world, making the sign of the thumb in the air is considered positive.

12:26It is the expression of your sympathy for something

12:29or the sign that everything is fine in general.

12:32In some parts of Italy, Africa, West, Iran and Greece,

12:36however, it is considered an incredibly offensive gesture.

12:40In Malaysia, this finger is used to show objects or people.

12:44So the next time you try to hitchhike in these countries,

12:48you will have to reconsider putting your thumb in the air.

12:51You could never be caught.

12:54Make someone the symbol of peace in the shape of a V

12:56and without consequence in the United Kingdom, Australia or New Zealand,

13:00as long as your hand is not upside down.

13:02In this case, this symbol can be very offensive

13:04and you will not make a lot of friends.

13:07So make sure that when you have your index and your thumb pointed up in the shape of a V,

13:11your palm is turned outwards and you should not get into trouble.

13:16Leaning forward is very common in the cultures of East Asia

13:19to greet and welcome guests or customers.

13:22The lower the inclination, the more you are respected.

13:25Fortunately, most Japanese do not expect

13:27that foreigners immediately understand the etiquette related to reverence.

13:31In general, they also accept a handshake or a head sign.

13:34But the fact of familiarizing yourself and training you to bend

13:37before going to Japan will impress all the inhabitants.

13:40How far do you think you can go?

13:43Using your index can be considered impolite in several European countries,

13:47Latin American and African.

13:49But pointing the finger is particularly seen in China, Japan and Indonesia.

13:54This gesture can be understood as an accusation or an insult.

13:58If you ask your way to the Philippines,

14:00you risk scratching your head asking where they want to go.

14:03It is normal that locals use their lips instead of their hands.

14:07In case of doubt, wherever you are in the world,

14:10simply make a gesture towards a person or a place using all your hand.

14:14You might think that raising your little finger makes you look chic,

14:17but in China it is very badly seen.

14:19This gesture is equivalent to putting your thumb down and expressing your dissatisfaction.

14:24When you take pictures with other people,

14:26be respectful and do not make obscene gestures with your hands.

14:29Two gestures to avoid, in particular,

14:31are to raise your little finger and point at something with a dirty object,

14:35such as a fork or a baguette used.

14:38It is certainly fun to eat with baguettes,

14:40but you can offend someone without wanting to if you put them in the wrong way.

14:44When you are in China, South Korea or Japan,

14:47do not make the mistake of putting your baguettes vertically in a bowl of rice.

14:50It brings bad luck.

14:52If you have to put your baguettes, simply place them on the side or through the bowl.

14:57Likewise, when you are at a table in South Korea or China,

15:00do not ask someone to pass you a dish.

15:02In these countries, you must be proactive and catch the food you want,

15:06and you will not offend anyone if you take the last bite.

15:09In some countries, it is acceptable to fly during the meal.

15:13We are not always prepared for this sudden tickling of the nose.

15:16But as long as you apologize and turn away, everything is fine.

15:20Except if you are on vacation in Japan, China or South Korea,

15:24where peppers can make your nose flow very quickly.

15:27Never fly in public.

15:29If you have to clear your nostrils,

15:31think about leaving the table and peeing in the toilets

15:33or hiding from any observer while remaining silent.

15:36It is considered impolite and unhygienic for the people around you.

15:40Always use a paper tissue and not a fabric one,

15:43and throw it away after use.

15:46The Fijis are one of the most beautiful destinations in the world,

15:49full of magnificent beaches and local residents.

15:52When you spend your holidays on this island, do not be surprised.

15:55You will surely meet some Fijians

15:57who will want to shake your hand for a very long time.

16:00Indeed, it is customary to hold hands

16:02for the entire duration of the exchange of your greetings.

16:06Be careful not to remove it too quickly.

16:08It is considered very impolite to end a handshake abruptly.

16:12If you are in India, join your hands in front of you

16:14instead of shaking a person's hand.

16:16By doing this prayer gesture with your hands,

16:18tilt your head slightly down

16:20and greet the person with a simple Namaste.

16:22Hands close to your chest.
