Getting sick overseas can be scary. You're in an unfamiliar place and often don't speak the language. Although each trip is different, there are universal things you can do to keep safe.
Be prepared.“Schedule a visit with a doctor who specializes in travel or the area you're visiting at least four weeks before your departure，” says WHO public health expert Dr Gilles Poumerol. A travel doctor will be able to give you the required and recommended vaccinations (接种疫苗) as well as discuss any medical issues you may come across abroad.
Get insurance.“In many countries where you have limited access to health care, good health care is only found in the private sector and can be very expensive，” Poumerol says. Plus, in an emergency, returning to the United States can cost more than $50,000. Ask your health insurance company whether your policy (保险单) applies overseas and whether it will cover trips to a foreign hospital. If not, there are many companies that offer short term travel health insurance for a reasonable fee. A list can be found on the US State Department's travel website.
Pack well. Poumerol also suggests bringing a note from your doctor in English and the language of the country you're visiting. Packing an emergency contact list is important. Contacts should include the local embassy, relatives who should be informed if you get sick and your health insurance company.
Be aware. You have to be in charge of your health. If you're being treated abroad, question the medical staff about their sterilization (杀菌) practices; injection (注射) equipment should be put in boiling water for at least 30 minutes or used only once. Also be sure that doctors and nurses are wearing gloves to prevent fluid transfer. Limiting your alcohol intake will keep you focused on your safety. If your common sense is perfect, the rest of your body should follow.

When I began planning to move to Auckland to study, my mother was a little worried about the uncertainty of living in a place that was so different from India, where we lived. She worried particularly about the lack of jobs, the cultural differences and the chance that I would face racism.
Despite these worries, I came to New Zealand in July 2009. I have found the place and people very nice and supportive. Soon after I arrived, I realized the importance of getting a job to supply my living expenses.
Determined to do this on my own, I spent a whole day going from door to door asking for a job. However, I received little or no response. This became my routine every day after college for a few weeks.
One afternoon, I walked into a building to ask if there were any job opportunities. People there were very surprised, and advised me not to continue my job search in that manner. As I was about to leave, a clerk in the building, who had been listening to what the others had said, approached me and asked if I would wait outside. Fifteen minutes later, he returned. He asked me what my plans were and encouraged me to stay confident. He then offered to take me to the Royal Oak area to search for a job.
I was a little surprised, but had a good feeling about him, so I went along. Along the way, I realized that I had run out of copies of my resume (简历). The man stopped at his business partner's office to make me 15 extra copies. He also gave me tips on dressing and speaking, and added that I should give him a call if I ever needed anything. I handed out my resumes and went home feeling very satisfied. The following day, I received a call from a store in Royal Oak offering me a job.
It seems that the world always gives back to you when you need it. And this time, it was a complete stranger who turned out to be a real blessing.

Shakespeare once called the English countryside “the precious stone set in the silver sea” — and he is not the last to sing high praises of its beauty and historical charm.
The countryside is particularly beautiful during the summer, especially in August and September. As one travels the countryside, you'll find more of its treasures: so many plants and animals, romantic castles, secret gardens, and villages so unchanged in the last decades that they seem to have been caught under a fairy's spell.
Must sees include Derbyshire, called “the heart of England” and home to the National Park. The great peaks were the muse (创作灵感) of the Bronte sisters (and if you love the book Jane Eyre, you can visit North Lees hall, where the real Eyre family once lived)．
History lovers will enjoy a visit to Lincoln city (its most famous son is Lord Alfred Tennyson). It is also known for its cathedral, the charming tea shops, a small castle. One would never guess its violent past — built by the Romans, it was once a center for arrow (箭) making.
Harry Potter fans shouldn't miss a visit to Alnwick, which is better recognized as the “Hogswarth” in the movies.
Let's not leave out the Wessex region, where one can see one of England's greatest mysteries, Stone Henge. You can also go to the City of Bath, which has been famous for its medicines springs since the Roman times. Other popular attractions include Salisbury Cathedral, the landscaped gardens of Stourhead, and the cobbled (用鹅卵石铺的) streets of Shaftesbury. This is also home to Oxford, one of the world's most famous universities.
Art lovers will also like a visit to East Anglia, whose landscapes inspired the painter Constable (he was born in Dedham village). This is also home of the University City of Cambridge, and the famous architectural attraction, King's College Chapel. Be sure to visit the aircraft museum of Duxford.

Where should an adventurous tourist go After you've done sightseeing in London, shopping in New York, tasted the local food in Paris, and danced to your heart's content at the Brazilian Carnival, where else can you go What exotic (异国风情的) tourist destination awaits you
Well, Antarctica sounds like the holiday of a lifetime! It's considered the last great wilderness on Earth. Just a few scientists in research stations share the icy landscape with penguins and other animals which can cope with the low temperatures.
Tourism began in Antarctica in the 1950s and it's still a small scale. About 37,000 tourists are expected there this season, but many won't even leave the boat.
The BBC's Juliet Rix visited the frozen continent and asked herself if she should be there at all, causing potential problems to such a sensitive environment. Her tour guide admitted that all visitors leave footprints and they all go to the same place, the accessible coastline, which is also where the penguins and seals go to breed.
But some people believe that if carefully controlled, tourism can be good for Antarctica. It has no native population and it needs advocates. Visitors to the icy continent might be ready to support and even to fund its preservation. And they're likely to engage in the discussion about global warming, which has led to the melting of glaciers.
According to Rix, guidelines are followed when you're about to set foot in Antarctica and tourists have to disinfect (为……消毒) their boots to make sure no alien species are introduced.
And once on land, there's no eating or smoking. Rocks, bone fragments — nothing should be taken as a souvenir and nothing should be left behind. Tourists fortunate enough to visit Antarctica must be aware that this is not their home and keep their fingers crossed that future generations will also be able to enjoy such breathtaking views.

Texting while driving can be serious. Adding to the peril:_texting and driving while asleep at the wheel. A woman in New Zealand managed to drive and even send her friends text messages for hours while asleep, according to a story in the New Zealand Herald. Surprisingly, she did not get into an accident.
According to News 3 New Zealand, the woman, who suffers from a sleep condition and was taking sleeping pills at the time, drove around New Zealand all night. The sleep driver left her house in Hamilton, headed to Auckland and then to her former home in Mount Maunganui on the coast late on Tuesday night, driving for a total of five hours and about 190 miles. As she sleep drove, she texted her friends, who believed she sent them while half asleep, says New Zealand's News 3.
Police say that although the woman was texting during her drive, she was unaware the entire time and has no memory of the nighttime ride. The police began tracking the woman's movement through her cellphone after receiving a call from a concerned friend, but weren't able to find her as she kept driving.“While all this was going on, we were scanning any reports of unusual or concerning driving as we tried to find the Toyota and prevent a possible tragedy (悲剧)，” police officer Dave Litton was quoted in the Daily Mail.
Police said that the woman's cousin finally found her in her former house on the coast, asleep. “While her being found safe and well is a relief for everyone involved, the possibility for tragedy was huge and we're urging people suffering medical conditions to be open and honest with their doctors and seek advice，” Litton told the New Zealand Herald.
