Technology Museum (I believe they call it Ku Chi

Kwai (phonetic)). Anything with a name brand on it

is fake so beware but this is the place to get

cheap stuff to take home with you. All the shops

inside are selling the same items so if they won't

take your price just go to the next one. There's a

section of the market that will tailor clothes for

you. One of my friends had her wedding dress made

there (exactly as she wanted it).

What to buy: Anything you want, at the end of the

trip I barely cared what I was buying anymore, if

it seemed like a deal I bought it.

What to pay: Xinyang Market lies under the Shanghai

Science & Technology Museum (I believe they call it

Ku Chi Kwai (phonetic)). Anything with a name brand

on it is fake so beware but this is the place to

get cheap stuff to take home with you. All the

shops inside are selling the same items so if they

won't take your price just go to the next one.

Take out appropriate travel insurance to cover hospital treatment, medical evacuation and any activities, including adventure sports, in which you plan to participate.
3. Before travelling (particularly travelling overseas), register your travel and contact details online or at the local Vietnamese Embassy, high commission or consulate once you arrive, so we can contact you when in need.
4. Obey the law. Consular assistance cannot override local laws, even where local laws appear harsh or unjust by Australian standards.
5. Check to see if you require visas for the country or countries you are visiting or transiting. Be aware that a visa does not guarantee entry.
6. Make copies of your passport details, insurance policy, travellers cheques, visas and credit card numbers. Carry one copy in a separate place to the originals and leave a copy with someone at home.
7. Check with health professionals for information on recommended vaccinations or other precautions and find out about overseas laws on travelling with medicines.
8. Make sure your passport has at least six months validity and carry additional copies of your passport photo with you in case you need a replacement passport while overseas.
9. Leave a copy of your travel itinerary with someone at home and keep in regular contact with friends and relatives while overseas.
10. Before departing your home check whether you are regarded as a national of the country you intend to visit. Research whether holding dual nationality has any implications for your travel]]> Fri, 18 Feb 2011 10:03:42 shaneyward
