May I know where to get flu vaccine and how early should we take the vaccine before we travel?


Price?

Price?

Most GPs have it, just call to find out.
You should take the jab at least two weeks before you travel.
We took our jabs at Raffles Hospital, about $32 each..

I really doubt all those stories about losing kids in hk. I follow hk news and read apple daily almost daily and have never heard of such news. Given the efficiency of the hk media and it’s never-ending urge to dig out sensational news, don’t think they’ll give these stories a miss.

yeah… i heard alot abt missing kids in Disneyland… seesm like there ar kidnappers/syndicates working ard… heard my aunt on her fren’s story as well… so much so that i was damn kanchiong thru out the trip… so much so that i wanted to buy the child harness for both kids…


when i went to disneyland back in aug last yr… DH & i held onto the kids tightly; nvr leting them off sight… one of us will always be with 1 kid…
even when looking at menus in front of the restaurants, the 2 kids will be standing right in front of us with our hands on their shoulders; we dun allow them to wander off, even if its js next door…

Here is the real case from my colleague just came back from hkg


He went on the 31 Dec 2011 to HKG and decided to travel to Guangzhou on the next day 1 Jan 2012. His hotel was at TST and decided to go for shopping, I think around HongKong island where countdown was held.

His shopping items were stuffed inside his backpack with his wallet inside too way below the top so that ppl can open and steal it. :siam:

But who knows, during his way where the most of the ppl hanging around, someone slashed opened his backpack and took his wallet and went off without him noticing. By the time he picked up all his stuff, his wallet has gone missing.

He left no :moneyflies: .. no credit cards.. nothing with him.. He has to call up all the ppl he can find to help him to transfer $$ to him so that he can buy prepaid card and settle the police report without any $$ on him too until 2 days later the bank can transfer $$ to him due to all the paper work and clarification.

He has to beg and ask around for food.. :scared: really very scary. He did not have any hotel stay too. He has to go to Mac 24hrs to sleep there. At least some of the ppl there are kind enough to give him burger and coffee to eat.

Those ppl stealing other ppl things and kidnapping children, they should be :lightrod: and :spank: and :heresmyfish: and :wrongmove:

:yikes: sounds like a first time traveller de.. ..

Why did he bring the whole wallet/passport out? If there isn't any safe in his hotel then wear his important stuff on traveller's pouch under his baju..
:?

I thought credit cards advertised about their officers reaching the card owner wherever the card owner are to give them the replacement card?

He still has his passport, only his wallet was stolen. That’s one thing to relieve, passport still around.
