Hi Phil,

and what, pray tell, will you do with the bananas, once you find them? I do not know the
laws in the UK, but to North America you cannot import them without smuggling them
and that poses some difficulty with all the x-ray equipment your luggage has to go through.
To Canada you are at least allowed to import seeds.

I have also travelled a limited amount in China on occasion of two visits there, and have
never heard of the requirement for Chinese escorts, although such requirement may exist,
if you want to travel to certain sensitive regions.

Best,
Olaf
