Hi Everyone,
It was great meeting all of you on Saturday! Below are some tips to help make your trip a success.
THINGS TO BRING
•Lightweight clothing (that you don’t necessarily need to iron)
women: we suggest skirts and dresses for convenience
men: we suggest khaki shorts or lightweight breathable pants
•Travel laundry detergent
•VERY comfortable walking shoes (if you can walk all day in flip flops, this is fine)
•One fairly presentable outfit – high heels or patent leather shoes are not necessary
•A sweater for heavily air-conditioned buildings/buses
•Sunblock
•Sunglasses
•Hat or umbrella for sun protection
•Travel tissue or toilet paper
•Hand sanitizer
•Insect repellant
•Any prescription medications you use and enough to last the entire trip
•Any over-the-counter medications (cold, flu, Imodium, allergies, etc.) you prefer as the brands you are used to may not necessarily be available for purchase in China, Hong Kong, or Taiwan
•Women: bring your own feminine products
•Contact lens solution for the duration of the trip
•Shampoo/soap/conditioner – there may be a few hotels that may not supply these so bring a travel sized supply
•Hairdryer – if you absolutely need one – some hotels may not have these, so you might want to bring a small travel sized one from home
WHAT NOT TO BRING
•Halter tops, tube tops, sheer tops, etc – unless you plan on putting a sweater on over it
•Daisy dukes and mini-skirts
•Shirts with controversial logos/slogans/pictures
•Avoid denim – it gets hot and doesn’t dry fast enough
•Too much luggage! You will need to carry your own luggage wherever we go
Please note: If there is a baggage check fee anywhere we travel, you will be responsible for paying the fee.
Best wishes,
Venus
