COOL THINGS IN JAPAN YOU MUST SEE
A big part of planning ahead is to learn as much as you can about your destination, including its telecommunications capacity and the ins and outs of using your phone abroad.
It is also at this stage, before you leave, that you should download a map of the place you are going to in case using your phone abroad isn’t possible. Thankfully, you can do this on Google Maps, as long as you have it installed on your mobile device.
The best way of using your phone abroad is to find accommodations that offer Wi-Fi. That way, you can easily check your email and social media accounts when you’re there.
You can also contact people via Internet-dependent communication platforms, like Apple’s FaceTime (exclusive for iPhone and iPad users), Skype, and WhatsApp. These three allow you to make voice and video calls and send text messages whenever you’re online.
Tech products that have influenced how people travel include a cold weather-perfect coat that heats up at the press of a button. This is an example of a wearable which has become increasingly popular due to its multi-functionality.
Most popular, arguably, are smartwatches. These gadgets have some form of communication capability and even health and fitness tracking technologies. One of these, as cited by Coral is heart rate monitoring, which serves as a useful reminder for travelers to stay active.
