Hello! I'm very concerned about the issue of radiation in China . We booked a tour for August 2011 Beijing-Weihai-Qingdao-Beijing . And now the media began to appear information that the radiation came to China (where Iodine-131 is found (disintegrates after 8 days) ), Cesium-137 and Cesium-134 (they disintegrate only after 2 years and 8 years!) . Naturally, while they say that everything is in order, the concentration is small and not dangerous, but I'm 100% sure that the whole truth to us do not speak and maybe will not say . And tour operators are not interested in losing profits, so they also say that everything is OK . And yet they do not completely solve the problem with the nuclear power plant, they say that it can explode and then it will be worse than in Chernobyl. . I'm very scared, is it worth it, or should not I go to China this summer? The sea, and air, and drinking water, and products ... Tell me, please, what should I do? Cancel the tour?

Now, unfortunately, no one can say with 100% confidence what the consequences will be the disaster in Japan for China and the rest of the world. At the moment, according to reports from the Chinese side, there is no cause for concern, the radiation background in the whole country is normal, soil and water samples are taken on a regular basis, radiation is measured around the clock, all cargoes are checked from Japan.
So make a decision to cancel the tour you will have to do it yourself, there are no objective reasons for refusing the planned trip. Please, keep in mind that the closer to the date of departure you cancel your trip, the less likely to avoid penalties
