What sort of bloody country am I going to?

NEEDLES
I'm off to the big smoke tomorrow to get my travel shots. Consultation with my GP last week identified the precautions that I have to take travelling to a remote part of rural China. Some of them I expected but others.....? I have to have a Hepatitis A shot. Hepatitis B is only necessary if I shoot up with dirty needles, have unprotected sex with prostitutes or go to hospital and have a blood transfusion. I am not planning to do any of those things so we ruled that shot out. I do have to have a typhoid shot. Plus a polio shot. And a flu shot. Did I mention a tetanus shot? And, get this, I have to have a bloody rabies shot.

Good job you're not taking The Old Girl - imagine how many more shots you'd need to cover planking injuries.
Those are all the shots I needed when I told them I was travelling to India and Nepal- and a whole lot more because I was coming into contact with local children.
P.S. Why are you going to China? Has the real estate business not been too promising in Northland?

I am doing a reverse take-over. I am concerned at the rate of Chinese expansion into New Zealand. I figure if enough kiwis buy land in China we can balance things out.
Now Nicola, I have a nice little shac.....villa in the Ningxia district that might interest you. It comes with 225,000 hectares and your own 450,000 peasants. Be quick.
The Chinese make a nice beer. I even copied the label for a sign for my Japanese garden!
So I guess all Asians or Asiatic people look the same to you Second.
I thought it odd that you wouldn't need a small pox vaccination. Perhaps it's only for military types.
