China in an effort to respond to the swine flu crisis with alacrity is ensuring any possible victims of the virus are quarantined! According to the article “Swine flu quarantine warning for visitors to China!” travellers from countries already exposed to the H1N1 virus are a risk as well as those coming into contact with people displaying flu-like symptoms on the flight over there.
What is more, to Chinese officials, it doesn’t matter how influential you are as even the Mayor of New Orleans (not showing any ill-effects or symptoms) was confined to quarantine on his visit to Shanghai. The mayor, it was felt, was potentially exposed to someone suffering with a flu-like illness and so was placed into quarantine as a precaution.
While it is appreciated that containment is important, it is hoped that drastic improvements are made to the current conditions of the hell known as swine flu quarantine.

According to the article “Know your rights as a holiday package consumer?” it seems the current holiday market has taken away our new roles as Internet travel agents – but will we miss it all that much?
I think we will survive!
If it means swapping our vulnerability for a position of greater strength – reducing the likelihood of losing our holiday money while increasing our confidence in the holiday market, booking our holidays through an ATOL registered agent is the sensible thing to do!
Actually, come to think of it, I’d much rather flick through a few brochures from the high street travel agents than trawl through endless websites any day of the week. Handing over to the professions means booking our holidays need no longer stress us out and take up hours and hours of our time! Thank goodness for that!

Canada can also boast some of the most incredible natural leisure resources in the world.

There are lakes that provide great water sports fun in the summer and in the winter you can enjoy some ice-fishing.The majority of water ways have endless cycling tracks running along their banks that can used by snowmobiles in the winter months. Thats something you would normally assocated with Alaska holidays
So, its clear Canada is the real deal and if you’re thinking that Canada sound like the place for you, you better be quick.

BlackCup asked: I am 18, male and considering visiting Paris alone this year. I have heard some people say Paris is quite a dodgy city, some say even more so than London and New York, although, I find that quite hard to believe, prehaps it is true.
Of course, I don’t go around looking for trouble or unsavory charactors and don’t plan to walk around deserted back streets at 3 am in the morning, so, on the whole, do you feel Paris is safe for an 18 year old male alone? What areas should I avoid?
Thanks
