It really depends on the kind of traveling you are going to do.  If you are
spending a lot of time in the jungle or in coastal areas, it may be necessary
to take something against malaria.  But if you are mostly traveling in the
highlands and only occasionaly visiting the coast, a lot of people decide not
to take medicine (especially on a long trip) because it has bad effects if
taken for a long time.  You should carry repellant, a mosquito net (for
sleeping), and long sleeves (or a thin sweater) in mosquito intensive areas
even if you are taking medicine.  Many hotels/residences will supply the net.

John,
This is really a great club to join.  A real travellers network of
people, culture, customs, etc.  You might want to join prior to leaving.
A membership (costs about $30) alows you to get trip reports from
the clubhouses in S.A.  Call them at (607) 277-0488. This is in upstate
New York (Ithaca).  I'm planning a mountain biking trip to souther Chile
and the gys at S.A.E.C Were great.  I got some very useful reports from
other travellers who had done the same or similar thing.  The S.A.E
handbook is the best for S.A.  Not Lonely Planet (which is good for SE
Asia).

Have fun,
Reno

Although there are alot of mosquitoes in S'pore and KL, the chances of
getting malaria in the short time you are going top be there is 
pretty slim. Unless you intend to spend a while in some remote
parts of the country or to trek in the rainforests of M'sia.

In general, the other vaccinations are not necessary, apert from
hepatitis A, if you intend to eat a lot of seafood cooked in some of
the methods of cooking - where the cockles are eaten just done .

Else, i should think most who have been there survived.

I have traveled through much of Europe on the Eurail pass.  Supplements are
not normally paid when using the pass.

There are two exceptions:
	1. Seat reservation fees are paid by you.  These are generally
	   a couple of dollars.  Reservations are optional on most trains
	   but are required on the TGV and a few other individual trains.
	2. Special accomodations, such as sleepers or couchette, are not
	   covered by the pass and must be paid by you.  The cost varies
	   a lot depending on the accomodation and the distance.

  Gee! I didn't know you people up there had the real Interrail 26+, here they
  refuse to sell Interrail for not-so-young folks (but they do in Scandinavia).
  As for the king of passes, Eurail Pass, I do NOT know if you can buy it in
  England, probably yes if you go to the Eurail Aid office (London?), if not
  you can buy it in the Netherlands (Eurail Aid office in Utrecht) for a 
  slightly higher price. You must fulfill the following conditions:
     - You are not an European citizen, and
     - You must prove that you have not been living in Europe for more than
       6 months.

     This is a much too simplistic view. Sure, racist organizations
     take advantage of  the situation. But how do you explain that most
     of the attacks take place in former East Germany?
     There *are* problems around
     refugee camps in Germany as well as Sweden which also has a
     generous refugee policy. Behaviour such as shoplifting, littering,
     thefts,assaults and rape of local girls upsets the local
     population. Then the racists move in, they have succeeded in
     Germany, but not in Sweden (yet). To say that the only cause is
     racism is just plain wrong.

While living in Ghana for four years, my parents and my younger brother took
Aralen (chloroquine phosphate), 250mg once a week in addition to Paludrine
(proguanil), 2x100mg, daily.  In the four years they were there, they did not
have a single case of malaria while my father's colleagues on other 
proplylaxis (sp?) were dropping like flies (or mosquitos).  neither drug
was 100% effective alone, but combined they seemed to do the trick.

Watch out for side effects.  I think they are partially to blame for 
a change in my brother's eyesight.

Great Jones Cafe -- 54 Great Jones St. (around the corner from Tower Records

	More cajun / southern cookin'.  Very good catfish sometimes.

Sugar Reef -- 93 2nd. Ave (East Village) 477 - 8427
