Having reread the first post, I'll marginal correct my previous post: First aid training is a SKILL that everyone needs. The other stuff is wholly unnecessary for a normal, vaguely switched on person.
I recon the chances of meeting a genuine undesirable when doing 2 wheel touristing are even lower than 1 in a 1000. In my experience of UK and foreign public transport terminals, nearly all the world's low life (thieves, touts, spivs) hang out there. On my own bike I never get anywhere near such places.
