Programme for NZ Track II Delegation for Inaugural India-NZ Track II Talks_v1.DOC Do not drink tap water – drink bottled water (always ensure that the seal on the top is intact when purchasing bottled water). Avoid ice in drinks or fresh fruit juices (as they may contain tap water). Even salads (including at 5-star hotels) may be a risk if washed in tap water Good idea to bring hand sanitisers and carry packets of tissues (some toilets, e.g. on the train, may not have toilet paper). Obtain from the Travel Doctor some basic medicine for “traveller’s diarrhoea” (i.e. antibiotics such as norfloxacin or ciprofloxacin which kill the bacteria; and loperamide which is a “stopper” but does not kill the cause). Rehydration sachets (e.g. Gastrolyte) may also be useful. Bring mosquito repellent (especially for early evenings). Drink plenty of water to keep hydrated – particularly given the temperatures and if there are any stomach upsets. Be careful with your valuables (money, passport, jewellery) – leave the latter in the safe in your Hotel room. Be careful when using credit cards – make sure the credit card is swiped in front of you. There are many 24 hour ATMs linked to international networks (Visa, Maestro, Plus, Cirrus, MasterCard) – although your NZ bank account may impose transaction charges. Bargaining is normal in markets although organised retail shops, including government/state emporiums, have set prices. Be aware of touts at the markets and other public places – they may appear to be friendly people but are likely to divert you to certain shopping locations for a commission. Electricity is 230 V to 240 V. Three round-pin style sockets are used – hotels will have adaptors. There are regular blackouts – but the major hotels all have back-up generators.
