Travel Packing Tips
The majority of people always over-pack. Experienced travellers will tell you - the less you bring the better..
- When choosing your luggage, look for bags with rollers – these make it much easier for moving through the airports. Straps are great for moving around but can get caught in conveyor belts easily so removable straps are advisable.
- It’s best to keep your most valuable items in your carry bag so that they are with you at all times. Examples of these are: passport, visas, money, camera, airline, cruise or train tickets, and itinerary with confirmation numbers and addresses and phone numbers of where you'll be staying.
- If you have medical items on you, make sure that they have professionally printed labels on the containers
- With up-graded security detectors in most airports, it is quite possible that film could be damaged whilst in transit. Camera bags offering protection against this can be purchased in most camera stores.
- Clearly label your luggage inside and out & use locks wherever possible. If your bag is not unique, it is advisable to tie or sew something bright onto it so that you will recognise it on the conveyor belts.
- Make a list of what you need and stick to it! Consider what activities you will be doing both night & day and check the weather forecast to help with your wardrobe selection.
- Check your hotel’s in-room amenities – such as a hair dryer, an iron and board, soap, shampoo etc. – so you’ll know what to leave behind.
- Don't take your most valuable jewellery and limit the amout you take with you.
- Pack your toiletries in mini-bottles to save space. Avoid filling bottles up to the very top as pressure inside the plane may force the contents to expand and overflow.
- Iron your clothes before packing & roll them up to avoid creases.
- A check list of useful items to pack.
- Check the weight and size restricitions for luggage with your airline or travel consultant. If baggae is over these limits, travellers may be charged an excess fee.

Don't do after having meal~
-Don't smoke-
Experiment from experts proves that smoking a cigarette after meals is
comparable to smoking 10 cigarettes (chances of cancer is higher).
-Don't eat fruits immediately -
Immediately eating fruits after meals will cause stomach to be bloated
with air. Therefore take fruits 1-2 hours after meal or 1 hour before meal.
-Don't drink tea -
Because tea leaves contain a high content of acid. This substance will
cause the Protein content in the food we consume to be hardened thus
difficult to digest.
-Don't loosen your belt -
Loosening the belt after a meal will easily cause the intestine to be
twisted & blocked.
-Don't bathe -
Bathing will cause the increase of blood flow to the hands, legs & body
thus the amount of blood around the stomach will therefore decrease.
This will weaken the digestive system in our stomach.
-Don't walk about -
People always say that after a meal walk a hundred steps and you
will live till 99.. In reality this is not true. Walking will cause the
digestive system unable to absorb the nutrition from the food we intake.
-Don't sleep immediately -
The food we intake will not be able to digest properly.
Thus will lead to gastric & infection in our intestine.
