Travelling is disruptive. Whether you are city hopping doing good business, or holidaying in some far off exotic land, being away from home means a change of
routine. However, just because your normal day to day habits with food and fitness are forcibly altered, it doesn’t follow that you have to abandon a healthy lifestyle.
Travelling around the world is one life’s great pleasures. But there are many countries where the inhabitants have strange little idiosyncrasies. Here are just a few countries taken at random where, like myself, you also might encounter quaint little national traits.
You can get around Bali, Jakarta and Jogyakarta without ever using a word of Indonesian, but you are missing a great experience if you do not acquire at least a basic knowledge of Bahasa Indonesia. Everyone will cheerfully help you when they see you are trying to speak their national language.
DVT or Deep Vein Thrombosis is a very rare condition, also known as Economy Class Syndrome. Anyone who sits motionless for a long time may develop stagnation of body fluids, which can cause small clumps of clotted blood in the lower legs. If the legs are not exercised these clots can grow and later cause more serious conditions. To reduce the risk of DVT we recommend you try some of the subtle aerobic exercises as described above while in your seat. Also drink plenty of water and move about the cabin, when possible.
