Can you bring a baby to Asia? (gal on Travel isn't sure)

marista99

Just saw this on travel. I understand asking for advice about the long flight...but why ask about vaccinations and then say "obviously I'll ask my pedi"? I dunno, seems kinda silly to ask when you are flat out saying the advice will be irrelevant. Couldn't resist a sarcastic comment about how there are actually lots of babies in Asia. http://community.thenest.com/cs/ks/forums/56497256/ShowThread.aspx#56497256 (sorry not clicky, on iPhone).

I thought you were actually asking this question in which case I would be finished with you.

hahahaaaaa

The Travel board has been full of 'em lately.

Also the answer is no, Asians eat white man baby.

LOL I'm planning on bringing my baby to Africa at some point in his first year--so he can meet his grandparents-- so I think I'd be ok with Asia too

This girl is clearly an idiot.

should we tell her children are required to poop in the streets in Asia?

OMG we can find a picture of those Chinese pants and tell her to get them before she goes.

Here's the image search results,  anyone with the cojones necessary to reply that gets a virtual high-five from me.

 

Love the bit about flying in business class. Was that necessary?

I thought that was kind of obnoxious too.  Like oh by the way, in addition to being terrified of "Going Abroad," I'm rich!

Asda is a supermarket chain in the UK, I think it's owned by Wallmart. That thread is making me laugh.

Thank you.

lol at babies in Asda. I am an evil person. I want to say "well duh. Of course they have kids. haven't you heard of youth-in-asia?" Ok, so I am evil enough to post that here, where you know I am kidding and yeah, I do understand it is a tasteless joke. But you all love my Klass, don't ya?

It's a supermarket where all the immigrant kids poop freely in the aisles.

Those pants shocked me.  Is that a real thing???  Excuse my ignorance about Chinese poo customs.

Yeah, and it used to be my bastion of sanity after the stupidity posted on the honeymoon board. *Sigh*

Look who put in her two cents over there.

I want a direct quote from her of who said it was all "fun and games."  Yeesh.

I'm loving this with every inch of me.  Best ever. 

marista99

There's another one now with someone who's bringing twin 20 month olds to Italy for 3 weeks. I'd rather take 1 baby to Asia any day over that. Yikes. It's probably not dangerous but how would you ever have fun?

Snippylynn

At least she's planning on taking the kids around and seeing the world.  I don't think a parents life has to end until the kid turns 18 just because they had kids.

Yeah...I'd want to wait til the kids were older before doing a trip like that though so that a) they'd be more independent and b) they'd actually remember the trip and be aware of what's going on!

LadyMadrid08

I agree with you Snippy, but I understand what Marista's saying.  Having fun with two toddlers underfoot on an international trip could prove to be difficult.  And to top it off the kids aren't even going to remember any of it.  I think it's great to travel with kids, but taking them along when they are so young, won't remember, and will make things much more difficult isn't something I'm planning on doing very often.  

At that age (could be wrong as my babies aren't born yet and I don't know just how hard it is to leave them) I think I'd leave the kids with the gradparents if possible and make the trip an adult trip.  Traveling is really great, but best if you're old enough to remember some of the experiences.  But maybe I've just been listening to my parents too much!  They said they were glad they took us traveling around the US as kids (camping and such) and that they held off on bigger trips until we were old enough to appreciate them.

I do definitely agree 100% on the idea that people's lives don't have to end just because they have kids.  We are definitely planning on doing lots of traveling with the kiddos.

Done.

I know I shouldn't scare her off, but I was feeling snarky. And I doubt this chick would ever consider taking her precious to China anyway. I wonder if she'd even go herself. Based on the Bali suggestion, I think she's looking for cheap tropical beach more than drastically different culture. But that could just be me being judgy.

marista99

Oh Gilli. I love you.

stever

I saw that and responded. And yeah, does she not think there are babies in Asia?
