Insurance, Health hints, and suitcase security.

After scouring the net and getting advice from travel agents, whom I came to believe were just trying to flick off really expensive travel insurance policies, I came across 1cover. The premium was $350 for 12 months, with no excess, and multiple travel world wide. Excellent when I considered what was on offer, in some cases, about $300 for 20 DAYS! The reason I chose my particular policy of 1cover insurance is because of the huge benefits, such as unlimited medical/hospital attention, family emergency, death, disability, resumption of journey and the usual loss of luggage etc. On top of all this is the personal liability cover of $5 million.
A HINT and to be on the safe side is to bring medication from home, because China may have different varieties which may not have the same effect.
If you take prescribed medication, it may be wise to bring your medication in the packets/containers with your name on them. Don't transfer into other containers that have no reference to your name. You could be accused of bringing drugs into China.
Imodium is a diarrhoea medication that works (for me). I suggest that a couple of packets of this product wouldn't go astray. Not because the food in China would necessarily be bad, but because our stomachs might not be able to handle REAL Chinese food.
For women, there is an item called a 'Shewee' It is invaluable for rural areas. Another awesome item would be a neck cooler scarf, by wetting the scarf the crystals expand and keep your neck cool . Finally, when it comes to suitcase security, I always thought that by bringing the zips together and adding a really secure padlock, my suitcase was close to impenetrable, and if someone did try to open it, I would know. That was until I watched this 'youtube' video. So now, Tell Tags, I'm going to buy some
