Travel with Your Pet

The rules to travel abroad with your pet are constantly untightening. Right now, they use ISO microchips that they place on your pet so traveling through airports is not a problem anymore. Most countries use this instead of the universal international health certificate.

Some use Blue Pet Passport. However, the Blue Pet Passport can only be issued by veterinarians in the Europe and it is only valid for travel within European countries. With more airlines that have become pet friendly already on their international routes, traveling with your beloved pets will not be as inconvenient as before.

The pet immigrations has forms and instructions for travelling with your pets. The forms includes pet policies for both the international airlines and policies for cruise ships and ferries. A cute little cuddly pet could never be a hindrance to your fun or important travels. Just make sure that you have what it needs and a planned trip will also help. The most wonderful pet in the world doesn’t deserve to be left home when you travel the world. As I say, whether dogs or not, they are man’s best friend.

Jet Lag and Culture Lag

Jet lag, by Wikipedia, is medically referred to a dysenchronosis. It is a physiological condition from rapid long-distance trans meridian (east-west or west-east) travel usually by airplane. This results from alterations to the body’s circadian rhythms. A circadian rhythm is an endogenously driven roughly 24-hour cycle in biochemical, physiological, or behavioral processes. But most of us think that the word lag is mostly used with the word ‘jet’ during travel. To be lagged can also be psychological and this expression known as either cultural jet lag/social jet lag.

Cultural jet lag was first coined by psychologist Marc Perraud. He invented the word when he was doing cross-cultural psychology research. He defines cultural jet lag as phenomenon of partial socialization in adults born from bi-cultural/national unions and whose childhood was characterized by nomadic displacement during key personality development stages.

For example, an American child, born in Thailand with American parents, lived in Thailand for a long time and decided to go back to America. The child who grew up in Thailand, so she is surrounded by a Thai culture which she may have absorbed some or most of it. Her parents are American so she is brought up by an American home but still her environment is a strong element that will still influence her as a person. So when she goes back to America the environment would surely be not the same. It would be hard for her to adopt the culture to blend in. Jet lag or culture lag it is, we don’t want either of it.
