travel schmavel

travel habits (1)
extra luggage
a.must. seriously. especially europe, uk, indonesia, vietnam, thailand, cambodia. ha wait, that's all the countries ive been to, and seriously, bring extra luggage. just chuck that foldable bag in your suitcase.

travel habits (2)
extra handphone
i always carry an extra handphone when i travel. one is my international roaming one. and the other i will use to purchase a prepaid card from that country. if they both use the same charger and battery, even the better. this is most useful if your other half actually lives in that country yr visiting and you need to contact him 24/7 and in case of emergencies i.e. "sayang, can u come to ladies changing room i wanna show you my outfit" you know, that kind of emergencies :p i usually only use the international roaming hp for work related calls, so secured that the company will pay for the extorbitant cost.

travel habits (3)
asam manis
oh, a travel must! i must must travel with some asam (pickled fruits). it tends to calm me down when i get anxious and a great remedy for nausea or headache in the long flights or long road trips!

travel habits (4)
medical stuff
panadols, clarinese, strepsils, tiger balm and pain killers. oh, handyplast. one time i got a horrible flu in hanoi and had to bravely go to their pharmacy to get a flu medicine and i was given a selection of unidentified names and the pharmacist didnt look too convincing and i ended up recovering my flu based on the fear of unknown medicine alone, such is the power of the mind :p

travel habits (5)
electrical stuff
hairdryer - the kind that brushes yr hair while its drying it. travelling iron - ladies that wears veils, unfortunately must have this everywhere they go, nanti tudung senget benget and kedut seribu. and international adaptor, of course.
