Travel - 18 July 2006

I want to visit these countries and experience the various cultures in South East Asia (Burma, Thailand, Cambodia), but if I go, I would like to also donate something that would help the people there the most.

I don't feel good donating money, because as I've done it before, I doubt that it ever gets spent the right way.

At first, I thought about buying $15,000 worth of Nike's for the children, but then I thought, the children will probably have their new shoes stolen as soon as I turned my back. Same thing with clothes or toys.
Maybe medicine, and medical supplies? But how do I arrange that? Do I need a prescription? A prescription for $15,000 worth of various medicines? And where do I dispense it when I get there?

What items do the people there desperately need, which I can help give them, without worrying that it ends up in the wrong hands?

I'm sorry for all the people there and what's happening. Really.

But, what about being a bit cautious about picking destination spots that are on the State Department's lists of places to avoid?

I'd like to go in September and am more than likely going to NC or SC so that it will be warmer. Any suggestions for beaches, hotels, restaurants, or points of interest are welcome. Thanks.

I need to get a re-entry permit and I've heard the Regional Immigration Bureau in Sendai is hard to find. I need directions/instructions and a map. Or if you know a map and directions for the Koriyama Bureau, that would also work. Thanks!

In a couple of months im flying about 21 hrs, over to Hong Kong (then on to NZ!!! YAY :-S lol). ANyways i get incredibly bored on like 2 hr flights to Europe. What can i do for 21 hrs. I have an mp3 player but im not sure if you can use them. I know there are films, but what happens if ive seen them or their crap.
