Today was laundry day so I could figure out what I should pack for next week. My mom got called into work so I was left to pack by myself, unlike what I had mentioned in my previous post. Packing is really stressful unless you're one of those people that...well....pack only the bare necessities. If you've seen Up In The Air with George Clooney, you know what I'm talking about. Anyways, after two hours of struggling, I managed to pack my carry on with all the clothes! Check it out.

To say that's my entire closet is honestly a blatant lie. Everyone usually has clothes they will wear and don't want people to see them in or clothes that are just too nice to wear for just any occasion. These are the clothes that fall in the grey middle ground, the clothes that are decent for everyday public use and the clothes that are a little bit classier. Plus, these clothes represent my style. (And I won't be dying in them in the Shanghai summer heat, at least not entirely!) My packing advice is to roll your clothes up. I literally rolled up everything. There's 4-5 layers of rolled up clothes and I'm also packing my laptop into my carry-on (which will probably contain a lot of my documents as well, but I'm making a bunch of copies and dispersing them in my luggage in case I lose stuff.) I decided to pack light on socks because I'm sure that's easy to get there. Shoes....That's a tricky issue, especially if you have like a bagillion pairs. There, you're on your own! I'm only bringing the pair I'm wearing on the plane and it's perfect for every condition. I'll also have a pair of flip flops because, uh, hello summer in China! Hopefully the weather isn't too whack there as it is here. And don't worry, toiletries are going in one of the front zippers. My advice for toiletries to to just get the nifty travel ones. Small and inexpensive! There's bound to be plenty of that stuff in China.
I'm gonna sign off before I keep rambling. Holla~
