Wow! What a list ~ actually be a good one to copy and keep for any trips into interiors of large Asian countries! Not long to go now for you! I bet the excitement is building!
A blood transfusion kit? Really? Wow! What's going on in China that roadside blood transfusions are a possibility?
Like Kirsty said ... a blood transfusion kit? That's hardcore. Everything else seems pretty reasonable.
Thanks Kay - I put it up here for my own reference, but great if anyone else found it useful!
Kirsty and Mary: The blood transfusion kit isn't strictly part of the DK list, but it does come in the sterile pack I'm buying. And bearing in mind that HIV and hepatitis B are rife in China, I think it is a good precaution.
We used Lonely Planet when we went and found it very useful indeed.
Yes, Alex, Lonely Planet Guides are great, aren't they? I like the glossy pictures in this DK one but they do weigh it down a bit. I wonder if the Lonely Planet one is lighter.
Remember, when handing business cards over, to present them with both hands, card facing towards the other person (and right way up).
Thanks Brian - have you been to China too?
