Next comes the what I need to bring with me:
Using the help of this packing guide,
I created my own list..
Stuff to Bring (in no particular order again):
1) A good jacket / coat
I was told that the temperature would be 1-digit (in degrees Centigrade)
during the time we're there, so this is essential. I'm used to 30+ degrees and
I feel cold when our aircon goes below 25 deg, so I can't, can't make a mistake here.
2) Omiyage
presents for our hosts. What presents should I bring from my country?
Healthy drinks / food? Tokens? Uh, I don't know. Dried mangoes? Eh?
3) A map of Japan
including train lines - where can I possibly get this? Maybe in the travel guide!
4) A phrasebook / dictionary
can also be a travel guide
to augment my broken Japanese
5) A luggage bag to put all my stuff in
have to buy this, oh no, this is getting expensive
and I haven't even left! :)
6) A good camera!
With enough memory on its card(s).
Will my camera suffice or do I have a DSLR from Hidalgo for 20k? :)
Or will it be better to just bring my point and shoot and than purchase a DSLR in Japan?
7) My laptop.
To upload pics and to blog! Oh, where am I gonna get Internet connection?
Unfortunately it's now under repair but I'll get it back soon.
Make sure everything installed is with licenses, hehehe.
8) A power plug adapter
to make sure I can charge my laptop and camera
9) Lotion and lip balm
for the cold, again
10) Medicines and first aid kit
for diarrhea, pain medications, fever meds, band aids?
11) ATM card / debit card
cash is king but this is for emergencies - read: emergency shopping? :)
Quite a list, and I haven't started!
