my son is heading off to hong kong and china... UPDATE

[Karen]

Oh, we hope he feels better soon, and does get to go to China and Hong Kong sometime soon!

Unless he is going to be in very rural areas, you have no need to worry about things like bird flu and typhoid. China is an amazing place to visit. I hope we have the opportunity to visit again one day.

Thank you for that, i am much more happier knowing that, as i doubt he will be anywhere near rural areas, yes he was so excited, but he is glad it was called off, as he is feeling very unwell, certainly not up to traveling, both he and his partner Amber are sick and off work right now,apparently the boss has it as well, so it would have been disastrous had they gone.

Yes i hope he still gets to go, it is in the pipeline, so here's hoping.

If he does get to go, as far as vaccines, we got our Hep. A & B vaccines, tetanus (hubby and I both needed to update ours), and we planned to get a flu shot when we thought we were going during flu season. As it turns out, we didn't go during flu season after all.

Thank you, i was worried about that, as even though not compulsory they are recommended and he did not have time to get them, as the trip was like announced, and he only had a week to get organised, i guess summer is not flue season, so hopefully he will be ok with that. cheers.

That's great news Carole. Just tell him to stay out of the Playboy Club, but have a beer in the Ned Kelly bar, it's in Kowloon I think.

Hey there oggyflute, i have not noticed you on PT for ages, good to see you, trip has been delayed, but i will tell him about the ned kelly bar, not the playboy club, i don't think His partner Amber would be too thrilled if he went there do you? lol, cheers matey.
