Transferring e-mail from an Android tablet

You could always pick up a inexpensive device over there, provided you can get 
the language set to something you can read.
But you are assuming that you will be able to receive the email while over 
there.  If you visit China for example, gmail is blocked.  You may want to 
look into a VPN service that will get you around any filtering in the countries 
you are traveling to.
