• 🛡️ Hotel Address: Write down your hotel's physical address and phone number in the local language on a piece of paper in your pocket.
• 🛡️ Medication Log: Write down the active drug name (e.g. paracetamol or ibuprofen) rather than brand names like Calpol or Tylenol when talking to foreign pharmacists.
