Cell Phone ( Mobile Phone, Cellular Phone ) 

"The cell phone has become ubiquitous in many parts of the urban world. Lost hikers in the mountains nearby have been saved by having a cell phone with them. However, there's something slightly comical (or sad) seeing somebody pull out their cell phone after having just completed the arduous but spectacular climb to the top of the Stawamus Chief, a sublime mountain near Squamish, in beautiful British Columbia. I still applaud the gent who, while dining in a London, UK restaurant, deposited the cell of a constantly connected fellow diner in the nearby lobster tank."

"In some parts of Africa and other parts of the world, be prepared to be arrested constantly for being a spy if you insist on travelling with this kind of equipment. And, nearly everywhere, you'll be a very interesting target for thieves and other opportunists..."

"On long trips to hot countries, you should take along some aluminium foil to wrap your films in - this will keep them a (little) bit cooler than otherwise. After every 4 or 5 films, mail them home! (Don't forget to put 'Exposed films' on the package in case a light-fingered person thinks they are new)."
