Travel Advisory for Under-15s: Enjoying Your Holiday Abroad
Dear Young Equestrian Citizens,
As you prepare to embark on your exciting adventure outside the Republic of Equestria Socialist, we want to ensure that you have a fantastic time while staying safe and respectful of the laws of other nations. This travel advisory will help guide you on how to enjoy your holiday while making sure you represent our great nation positively.
Key Points to Remember
- Respect Local Customs: Each country has its own set of rules and customs that may be different from what you are used to.
- Stay Safe and Be Aware:
- Always keep your belongings secure and be aware of your surroundings.
- Stick to well-lit and populated areas, especially at night.
- Travel with a Buddy: It’s always safer and more fun to explore with a friend or family member. Make sure you have a travel buddy at all times.
- Emergency Contacts:
- Know the emergency contact numbers of the country you are visiting.
- Keep the contact information of the Equestria's embassy or consulate handy.
- Communication:
- Carry a mobile phone with you at all times.
- Stay in touch with your parents or guardians and let them know your whereabouts regularly.
- Health and Well-being:
- Drink plenty of water and stay hydrated.
- Try new foods cautiously to avoid upset stomachs.
- Carry any necessary medications and a basic first-aid kit.
While Representing Equestria Abroad
Proudly represent the values of Equestria Socialist:
- Be kind, compassionate, and respectful to everyone you meet.
- Follow the rules and guidelines of the places you visit.
- Remember, your actions reflect on our nation.
Maintain Our Standards:
- While our home is known for its extensive civil rights and social equality, not all countries have the same standards. Be mindful of these differences and always act in a way that would make Empress Max and your fellow Equestrians proud.
Activities to Enjoy
- Sightseeing: Explore famous landmarks, museums, and parks.
- Cultural Experiences: Participate in local festivals and events.
- Local Cuisine: Try new foods and delicacies, but make sure they are safe to eat.
- Shopping: Buy souvenirs and gifts, but respect local customs regarding bargaining and shopping etiquette.
Important Reminders
- Enforcing Equestrian law addendum: For example, if you are walking past a patizier and you see a police officer of the nation you are in attacking an innocent civilian, it is your duty to defend that civilian with all reasonable force. For example, if they refuse to stop and in stopping the police officer, you end up bashing their skull in, you may be concerned that that is not reasonable force. However, it is. While this is not a perfect example, hopefully it will help you understand what to do when abroad.
- Equestrian Law Enforcement: Remember, even when you are outside Equestria, you must follow Equestrian laws. This includes respecting the property and privacy of others, not engaging in illegal activities, and upholding the high standards of behavior expected from all Equestrian citizens.
- Digital Currency: While Equestria Socialist is advanced in its use of digital currency, not all countries use or accept it. Be prepared to use local currency for transactions.
We hope you have a wonderful time exploring new places and creating unforgettable memories. Travel safely, respect the customs of the countries you visit within reason, and return home with stories to share and new experiences to cherish.
Safe travels and happy adventures!
