4 5 [Next] - When in the Middle East (from Morocco to Pakistan), make sure you understand the principle of 'baksheesh', which is a kind of system of tipping, which can range from a well deserved gift to minor extortion. If someone asks you for baksheesh, don't be afraid to say no if they don't deserve it. Also, consider giving small gifts (e.g. pens, cigarettes, etc.) as an alternative to cash. 21-Apr-2001 Joe Hill ID95 - Follow these tips in your Tokyo travel to help you keep within your budget and have a great vacation!
4-Sep-2008 Best Travel Tips ID2103 - The best place to exchange money is at any local jewelry store. Inquire first, then move on to a few other jewelry stores and make a decision from there. Don't enter the shops with too many people. There's almost never price tags on items, so you have to ask how much things are and how to buy (3 for 1, etc). I recommend looking around before buying anything first. Bring hand sanitizer and a pack of tissues with you everywhere you go. The American hand gesture for 'so-so' (twisting the wrist over and under) is a Vietnamese gesture for 'no.' It is especially helpful when eating out and when locals try to sell you merchandise, lottery tickets, and beg for money. Try not to give money, because once you give it to one, the rest will rush over. If you plan to give money to the poor, be discreet. 2-Sep-2008 Helz ID2101 - On the flight to Japan you will be given the choice of cutlery or hashi (chopsticks) to eat your meals. Use the cutlery and save the hashi for use in Japan and to practise with in your hotel room. When eating in a Japanese restaurant you may be given shiny hashi; these allow the food to slide off. Instead, use your airline hashi - they will be cheap and made from rough wood, unless you travelled 1st class! Also, keep your serviettes, as Japanese eating places often do not provide serviettes.

What needs to be brought to Vietnam:
Suggested Equipment List: Below is a suggested equipment list. Dress in Southeast Asia tends to be quite casual because of the warm, humid, tropical climate. For women, casual cotton pants and skirts are most acceptable for daytime wear, but bare sundresses and short shorts are frowned upon, especially in pagodas and temples. A sweater, sweatshirt, light jacket, or fleece pullover is a good idea when visiting the northern areas in the winter (from November to March); and, because the climate is tropical, it is useful to have a windbreaker or rain poncho as protection against the unexpected rain showers that tend to occur.

Health equipment and Medical Items: No actual vaccinations are officially required. Malaria prophylaxis is no longer recommended, but visitors are advised to check with their doctors or travel immunization clinics regarding the advisability of inoculation against typhoid, tetanus, hepatitis A and B.

We suggest the following (Note: You will need to pack sharp objects in checked baggage due to tightened airline security):
