FAQ

1. 由中国口岸进入美国口岸的人员一般不需要出示黄皮书（又叫国际旅行人员健康证）。一般到港时只要求签一张健康声明，说明你没有生禁止入境的病就可以了。
2. 中国法律要求从中国口岸第一次出国的人员，短期出国的人员，出国前要前往指定的卫生检疫机关做健康检查，申领黄皮书。个人感觉是，以前出境好像每个人都要查黄皮书的，尤其是对那些短期出国的人员查的更紧。现在好像很少查这个了。
3. 那么什么是第一次出国？如果你的护照是公安部发的，护照拿来后，在里面应该有－份原始的出境证，如果你的护照里有这纸，口岸检疫的可能会要求你出示黄皮书。短期回国后再出国时，出境证是在出境当时由自己填写的，黄皮书也就不要了。
4. 黄皮书的有效期是180天，去美国的中国公民一般要求普通的体检（也就15分钟左右了，当然要求空腹），HIV (矮子病了）和霍乱接种（接种有效期好像只有60天）。当然要自带相片了，钱也是少不了的。
5. 那既然不查，是不是干脆就不做算了？不对的。黄皮书是证明你健康状况的重要文件，你一旦到了国外，万一有什么事讲不清楚的时候，拿这个也许有用。而且，你如果将来学成回国，到公安局报户口时，黄皮书还是少不了的。
6. 美国大学要求国际学生出示MMR的证明（卡价苗，麻疹，肺结核），其实中国从1960年代起就实行计划免疫了，每个中国人，除非他小时候不在国内的，一般都打过预防针吧，你只要到当地医院叫医生给你开张证明交给大学health center就可以了，如果你还有小时候用过的预防接种卡，复印一下交医生签个名也能用的，如果你实在什么证明都拿不出也不要紧的，等你报到后自己到health center 打3针MMR就可以了，当然是免费的，不过前后要一个月，打针也是很痛的！
7. 另外大多数中国人的肺结核皮试会呈阳性，这并不表明你有肺结核，health center 一般会给你拍张胸X光片（当然不要钱的），即使屁事没有，他们也会叫你吃半年的篮尤泾（这个字好难打，这种药在国内估计只有7老8十的人还记得它的名字，问问你们的爷爷吧），那时你可以签拒绝就行了。

MARC is an extremely slow and aged "machine", slower
than the horse, and also expensive, costs more than 5
dollars and more than 1 hour to downtown Baltimore.
The fastest and cheapest way is go to the Greenbelt
Metro Station by taking c2 bus on campus, pay $1.1,
you can use this ticket with additional $0.90 (?) to
get another ticket on B30 express line to go to
Baltimore airport, total cost $2.00, and only takes
about 30 minutes. Keep this ticket, it is also good to
take Baltimore local bus. B30 operates 365 days/year

When arrive BWI, take light-rail to Penn Station, then
take free JHMI shuttle to JHU.

I always take B30, because it is faster and more
reliable than Blue Van.

Try call Air China Detriot office at:
734-7222302, ask for New York JFK- Beijing direct fly
with Boeing 747 Combi ( half cargo half passenger,
only this flight is cheap)

The plane has very very big space (a 747 with about
100 passenger only). Last year was at least $100
cheaper than any dealer price. But the flight was
always delay, normally 1 hour, because passengers have
to wait crews to load the expensive cargo to Shanghai
)

Remember to reserve a window seat, the plane flys over
North Pole, an iced land covered with pure red aurora.

Good luck.
