Re: Planning a trip to china... what do you think?
What you need to be careful is Hepatitis.
If you see a restaurant serving bamboo chopsticks,do not use them,unless they are the sanitary kind ,new and sealed in paper.
WHY?
Because when you are done eating,they soak dishes and used chopsticks in a pan,the bamboo will soak up the dishwater,if they are not completely air dried out,you could catch some of the germs .
plastic would be safer,or just bring your own spoon or plastic chopsticks.
Also be careful using their restroom,you may need to bring your own toilet paper and handi wipes.
Drinking water -make sure they are boiled or comes in a bottle.
always wash your hands every chance you have.

INDIA is worse,dont run around in sandals ,if you must ,wear socks.
Pools of water after monsoon season,do not evaporate esily and you dont know what is brewing in the water,I have heard horror story,some come back in 2 urns,one for each child!
Wash your hands often,dont eat exotic food,exotic food is for locals,not tourists
