- "Trip enjoyment is inversely proportionate to the amount of crap (re: distractions) you bring with you."
- make a list before you pack so that you don't put extra things
- Free Baggage Allowance(including checked baggage,hand-carry baggage and free articles taken by passengers)is 15 kg. Carry-on baggage The size of the articles taken by passengers should be smaller than 20 *30 * 40 cm and its total weight should be less than 5 kg. The weight of carry-on baggage is calculated as part of your total baggage allowance.
- put as much as possible (e.g. phone) in pockets to avoid weighing down hand luggage. which also means taking something (jacket?) with pockets!
- put in a week's minimum clothing and resolve to buy the rest (asking rosalie if there is cheap shopping in beijing, im sure there must be). obviously buy enough clothes to teach in as i won't be clothes shopping immediately but keep the travelling after in mind, i want to use budget airlines. and buy souvenirs. etc.
- wear the extra clothes onto the plane

- Opt for a shampoo/conditioner combo. Bring a tinted moisturizer with SPF.
- If you travel often, it's worth the expense to buy travel underwear. It takes 3 hours to dry and I can make a month journey with 4 pair.

- When flying on a smaller airline in a foreign country, acceptable baggage weight and size requirements can be a crapshoot. You don't want to discover that you have to leave behind one of your bags or pay extra fees when you attempt to board a 20-seat plane for a domestic flight in Costa Rica. Check baggage requirements for each flight on your itinerary.
- Select a bag with a bright color. Purple leopard print may not match your business suit, but you will always be able to spot it quickly on the luggage carousel.
