Because of your post, I went to count the numbers of key chains I was given. I have 6, from Hawaii, Phuket, Malaysia, Disney, Universal Studio and New York, all collecting dust. Thanks for the tip, I can use them as decorative items.

An embassy is not a baby sitter but it is a place it’s citizens can seek help from, no matter how trivial the matter is. I see nothing wrong going to the embassy, at the very least, I know I can get some genuine advice. I would trust the embassy staff more than strangers in a foreign land. Well, at least that’s what my parents used to caution us kids when we travel alone without them.

For all emergencies, contact the embassy? Embassies and consulates are not service providers for travelers in distress. Be an adult, and not a whining baby running to the embassy. Get medical insurance - they will help you find a doctor. Get a credit card - if you lose it, they’ll get a replacement card to you inside of 24 hours, if you ask them to. Stick to the laws of the country you are traveling in (and if you don’t know them, that is YOUR responsibility) - embassy staff will almost certainly NOT be able to transfer money, food and clothing to you, as this article states. Grow up, be responsible.
