Travel insurance

[boojum]

But back to travel insurance, who can recommend gear insurance from experience?? I have a few months to get this done but I would rather have it done than still be trying. Help a geezer out.

I can’t say I know what the quip about the roast duck is supposed to mean. I get my wisdom from fortune cookies. Fooling foreigners can be pretty lucrative. Decades ago in Shanghai well before the skyscrapers went up there were people selling fake antiques on the sidewalks. They would take a department store vase and boil it in black tea for sometime until it’s stained and little cracks appear on the porcelain making it look like someone had dug it up last week. I doubt it was a coincidence they are often seen half a block away from the tourist hotels. People actually fell for that.

I reckon it's the Chinese equivalent of another old (Western) saying - "if it was raining champagne, (name of person) would be standing outside with a fork."
