I was searched once travelling in from Hong Kong. I had a duty free bag stuck up on top of my trolly..The uniformed agent virually ran up to me and said How much Whisky you got. You travel alone??? I had 2 x 1ltre Bottles of Chivas Whisky. I was travelling with a chinese lady friend but she got caught short by having to go take a pee. Luckilly she turned up just as I was going to try and explain the situation. So it seems they are worried about you bringing in over the duty free quota, Cheers n Beers, Bigl

That thought has certainly crossed my mind. And my mind as well. Last April I was staying in a hotel in Soi Bukaow (sp)? There was plenty of rain and lots of slight flooding everywhere. Well I picked up a bug in an open wound on my left foot. Within 2 days I was only able to crawl around. I had developed Cellulitis. (the third time in my life.) Very farkin painfull. I changed all my holiday plans and flew back to Melbourne that night. My loverly Thai wife met me at the airoprt and we took a taxi straight to Epworth Hospital in Richmond, Melbourne. I was admitted straight away and was placed in ICU for 2 days, then about 8 days in the Cardiac ward and finally another 6 days in a normal ward. I had so much happening to me.Being a diabetic, already had half of my left foot amputated. ( thats why I still have an open wound)The extreme swelling of my leg and the Infection of the bug caused stress to my heart. Also having systemic heart disease and a stent already inserted a couple of years ago.. I was really in a mess. Discharged to travel home to Sale Vic. Onlynext day to be admitted for another 4 days in Sale hospital.All related to the cellulitis and my heart condition. I still have not got over the experience as yet. Last week I arrived home from another couple of weeks in Thailand.I avoided as much as the flooding as possible.So far no infections. And now only 79 days untill my wife and I head back for another month. My question is ? That trip nearly killed me but why do we seem to be unable to stop from returning???? Its got me bugged, Cheers n Beers, lesdunbar
