Medical Issues Abroad
To be on the safe side, if you have a history of any medical condition, you should bring a medical record. This would include: your blood type, immunization record, allergies, medications you are currently taking (both prescription and non-prescription), your doctor's name, address, phone number, emergency contact name and phone number, and your insurance company's name, address and phone number. Although tap water is safe, it would be a good idea to pack anti-diarrheal medicine, such as Imodium, as the change in cuisines, water and altitude can have an effect on your body's digestive system. Precautions for encephalitis and lyme disease should be taken.
Traveling Safely
Always be alert and aware of your surroundings. Flemish, French and German are spoken, but many do speak English. Carry your passport at all times - it really should not leave your possession during your entire journey. It can be replaced while you are abroad, but it is not easy. Czech Railways is clean and efficient, though some argue the buses in the Czech Republic are faster and more convenient ? both offer travel throughout the country. In Prague, the metro, a bike or a pair of walking shoes are the best way to get around.
Customs & Immigration
You are required to declare your belongings when you enter. Customs declaration forms are available on the plane, the ship, or at the Customs office. Items you cannot take into or out of the country include: fresh fruit, arms, ammunition and explosives, printed matter, narcotic drugs, animals and plants.
