Customs & Immigration
|
| You are required to declare your belongings when you enter. Customs declaration forms are available on the plane, the ship, or at the Customs office.
Items you cannot take into or out of the country include: fresh fruit, arms, ammunition and explosives, printed matter, narcotic drugs, animals and plants.

Medical Issues Abroad
|
| To be on the safe side, if you have a history of any medical condition, you should bring a medical record. This would include: your blood type, immunization record, allergies, medications you are currently taking (both prescription and non-prescription), your doctor's name, address, phone number, emergency contact name and phone number, and your insurance company's name, address and phone number.
Although tap water is safe, it would be a good idea to pack anti-diarrheal medicine, such as Imodium, as the change in cuisines, water and altitude can have an effect on your body's digestive system.

Traveling Safely
|
| Always be alert and aware of your surroundings. English is the primary language. Carry your passport at all times- it really should not leave your possession during your entire journey. It can be replaced while you are abroad, but it is not easy.
Public transportation is certainly efficient and inexpensive, but it can be crowded, so watch your pocket books and wallets. Try to stay on the main routes. At night, stick to well-lit streets and the more popular places.
