Packing for Japan Step #001: their list

So it's finally come, i am about to embark on a trip to Japan (in two weeks). What on earth am i going to pack? This topic has come up the past couple of weeks, in conversations amongst my friends and I. They aren't worrying about it just yet, but being the worried & organised person i am, im going to start planning now.

I wrote an article in July on what to pack when heading overseas for summer vacation. Only problem is they have given us a list. Don't you just love it when they give you a list of things you need and things you should not bring? Yay. what energy. what excitement. what individualism.

well when you think about it, a list can be a good thing, a challenge to tackle with the wardrobe as your way of tackling it, and a credit card handy possibly. So what does this great list have on it you may ask.

The contents of the list are as follows...



* Clothing to suit a variety of temperatures
* Smart casual clothing for homestay
* Dress school uniform for school attendance
