Packing+List

Let's develop some good ideas for what to pack! Share your packing ideas:

Good idea:
 * School logo clothing to trade
 * Around the neck style wallet
 * 220 volt electrical adapter (This is not an endorsement, but there is good info [|here])
 * Travel size everything so you have room to bring home your souvenirs. Try to use up all items on the trip... no sense toting any of it back home.
 * Digital camera (with usb connector or SD card)
 * Good walking/running shoes
 * Prepaid Visa card for your student (check with your credit card or bank... they probably have a program to issue your student a pre-paid card that will work just like a credit card, but with less risk).
 * Secondary ID kept separately from your passport (in case that gets lost... but DON'T lose that Passport [;-)
 * Bare essentials for cosmetics and toiletries. Bring enough to be comfortable but don't over do it.

Bad idea:
 * Anything with a sharp blade or edge (scissors, clippers etc.)
 * Large amounts of currency
 * Expensive watches, jewelry etc.
 * High heels, hard sole shoes
