Packing My Backpack
Alright, so here it is. This blog is dedicated to my backpacking journey to Europa!!
First off, let me just briefly tell you about my travel plan.
On December 8th (Saturday), 2007, I'm departing from Narita International Airport and arriving in Frankfurt am Main, Germany on the same date (about 15 hours flight with one transfer in Copenhagen, Denmark). I'll be exploring the city of Frankfurt for a few days and leave for Nürnberg (famous for Christmas markets!), then for Christmas I'm planning to spend time in Praha, Czech Republic. After Czech, I'd like to go clockwise around Europe then back to Frankfurt to fly back to Japan in January, 2008.
I'll basically be staying in a dorm room at youth hostels during my trip. Plus, lucky me still being not over 26-year-old, I was able to purchase Eurail Global Pass for youth at discount price. In case you don't know what the Eurail Global Pass is, it's a rail pass with which you can get on trains in European countries for flat rate within the number of days you bought for (with some exceptions).
I just started packing my stuff this afternoon, but I'm only taking a few things with me so I'll be all fine. I'll make sure to bring something to keep me warm. :) Here's a photo of (almost) everything I'll take with me (the photo on top).
So far I've got...
1. Backpack
2. Down jacket I bought at Shimamura (it's like a Japanese Target) for 3,000 yen (gonna wear it on me)
3. 2 pair of jeans (gonna wear one on me)
4. A pair of sneakers (gonna wear)
5. Clothes (tops, socks, leggins) - yeah, I like to wear bright pink.
6. Towels (small ones)
7. And other items like tooth brush and conversion adapter compatible anywhere in Europe that I bought for 2,000 yen at Bic Camera in Yurakucho.
8. Digital camera (of course)
9. Small maps, language books and passport, youth hostel card, credit card...and money
...did I miss anything?
