Questions & Answers
Question : How can a wheelchair-bound college student travel Asia with her American friend? Ideas?
Hi! I am a 20-year-old from Asia who has not known the limitlessness of life until I met Tif, an outdoor American girl who brought me on bike rides and donkey rides. I have never travelled without my parents but would like to do so within the next year. Any suggestions?
Several issues include: wheelchair accessibility, accessible bathroom, backpacking tools, light-weight mobility equipments, options for transportation, cost? We have considered Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, China, and the Philippines... but we don't know if it is too difficult for us.
Also, what can we do to get sponsors and people to help? We're thinking of putting together an inspirational program and both of us can speak to inspire the local people. Please suggest!!!
Answer:
Need more info to give a good answer. People who use chairs have different needs. If she is quad and using a power chair things will be a bit harder to set up. However if she is para and uses a light weight chair and is in good health the task won't be that hard.
Of the places you have listed I've only been to Thailand. However I can tell you about Malaysia and Singapore. As a rule the less developed the country the worse the accessibility will be. Singapore is a piece of cake, Malaysia can be handled in a manual chair, however from what I saw in Thailand... Better stay in the nicer areas.
Over all as a rule if you stay in tourist areas, travel should be easy. Most of the 4 & 5 star hotels now have accessible rooms.
As for transportation, again that will depend on what type of chair she has, and if she can transfer easily. If her chair is foldable and she can easily transfer, any cab will do. However if not you will need to make arrangements ahead of time. She will need a van with a lift. I've seen them don't know the system.
Something else to watch out for is the grade of ramps. I've seen MANY that were too steep.
Food for thought, if you are going to do an inspirational program... check with the hotels and see if the will sponsor you. If you are lucky a free room, or at least a nice discount. For assistance on transportation, contact the local centers for the disabled, they might be willing to help in exchange for a program.
Where you will most likely need hard cash is with the airline tickets. However I would suggest networking business people who travel a lot. They may not hand over cash, but might you enough frequent flyer miles for a ticket.

Question : In the UK, does anyone know anything about a company known as GL MOBILITY LTD?
The company offers jobs in the US for people to cash checks from their "customers" and fwd 90% to them via Western Union. The company boasts of providing medical supplies/equipment to the US but has a problem with the monetary exchange...thus needing US citizens to cash the checks for 10% of the check.
Can anyone verify this is a legitimate company with legal rights to do business in this manner.
and why do they have problems with US currency exchange?
I know this is something I should shy away from, but I'm asking for info from someone who's actually dealt with these people, done business, worked for them, etc... what was your experience with them?
If I get no answers, then I'll have my answer.
thanks all.
