Do the shower stomp. Wash your clothes while you're showering, and leave them to dry overnight. > Also, > since you've been around the world, are there any immunization shots I > should think about getting before this trip? > Not that I'm aware of, but you should take professional advice. I think the thing gets most people is the change of drinking water. Every country's drinking water seems to contain its own set of microbes, so until your stomach is used to it you might end up with a touch of the trots. The cure for this is to book a room in the Lake Tana Hotel, Bahir Dar, Ethiopia, and clean your teeth in your room without bothering to look at the water and thereby learn that it comes straight out of the lake. The ensuing 10 days will be a feverish hell of explosive you-know-what, but forever after your stomach will be immune to everything. If you live. Australia has a collection of unpleasant insects and snakes whose sole purpose in life is to kill you, so you probably want to watch out for them.
