Travel Advice Needed: Hong Kong & Macau

[Tokyo!!]

I'm travelling to Macau in a month for the APPT. Do you need to get any sort of innoculations before going? I've heard of people needing them for mainland China.

No innoculations necessary for Macau or HK. A visa is not required for a visit to these former colonies, just a passport (for passport holders in most 1st World nations).

No inoculations needed, but if you're sick and running a fever, plan to be stopped in the airport. They get freaked out about that due to the SARS threat.

T50 -- thank you very much for the advice and ideas. I am about 80% sure I'll be having a chinese speaker going with me to make the trip in mainland China a little easier.
