Shoes preferably slip on and easy to remove, comfortable, sensible, water resistant. There will be a lot of walking, seriously. And oh, wear socks. It'll save you lots of tears from those painful blisters.
Toiletries – Be aware that for hand luggage you are only allowed
liquids in , shampoos, body lotion,
foot scrub, tiny hair brush… the list goes on. I collect tooth paste from
hotels and flights for this particular reason too.
Get Universal Traveller
international clear plastic pack for carrying your hand – luggage toiletries. I
carry as minimal as possible because my hotels provide these amenities anyway
(again, do your homework and don’t make assumptions).
By
the way. if your hotel states that they provide yukata or pajama (usually in Japan), then
they do. Comfy and clean. If not, then too bad. I never bothered to
bring pajama, I just wear what I'm gonna wear on the next day when the
hostel I stayed in didn't provide the pajama.
Tips for packing:
- make a list
- shop from the start, watch out for sales. Last minute
shopping sucks and you will tend to forget things.
- do your homework before shopping. There is lots of
website offering good travel tips out there.
- always make comparisons, don’t buy when in doubt
- shop for the right season. The assistants at the
outlets are more than glad to help you, most of them are students who studied
oversea and working part time there so they do know their stuffs.
