from the weather i'm sure people in the uk can tell that summer is coming. some welcome the warmth of the bright sun, some (like me) are already miss wearing layers of clothing before stepping out the door. i'd choose winter over summer any day. like i said before, i would live at the North Pole if it wasn't for the lack of internet connection, civilization and melting ice.
anyway, before i go off-track even further, summer means holiday. and to the bruneians in uk, summer means flying back home. after everyone has finish their respective exams, i'm sure they're walking around with a smile on their face and very eager to start packing. i shall now share eHow's tips on how to pack a suitcase!
packing a suitcase is a strategic exercise in maximising space and minimising creases. you may already have a favourite packing system, but read on for more suggestions.
2. stack tops, unfolded, by placing creases-prone tops towards the bottom of a pole and less easily creased ones towards the top.
3. fold the sleeves in towards the shirts' torsos.
4. fold the shirts in half from the bottom. you now have a rectangular bundle of shirts; place it in your suitcase.
5. drape long dresses in the suitcase so that the ends hang over the sides.
6. place trousers and skirts on a flat surface; fold each in half length ways.
7. stack trousers and skirts on top of one another, with easily creased ones at the bottom and sturdier ones, such as jeans, on top. fold the stack over, so that its length is halved.
8. place your stack of trousers and skirts on top of the dresses, then fold the ends of the dresses over the trousers and skirts.
1. roll ties losely.
2. stuff socks in shoes. pack underwear in mesh laundry bags or side pockets to save space.
3. arrange each pair of shoes so that the heel of one aligns with the toe of the other.
4. wrap pairs of shoes in separate plastic bags, and place them along the border of your suitcase.
5. protect clothes from leaks by placing toiletries in a plastic bag.
6. pack essential toiletries in a carry-on bag. include your toothbrush, toothpaste, makeup, medication and other important items.
tips: pack items snugly, leaving little room for them to shift. consider surrounding them with plastic dry-cleaning bag to minimise creases; use a suit carrier for suits or dresses.
pack an easily flattened extra bag, such as a lightweight holdall, for carrying purchases you make on your trip.
label both the outside and inside fo your suitcase with your name, address and phone number. remove old baggage claim stickers.
travel light. check with your airline regarding restrictions on size, weight and number of pieces of luggage allowed.
warning: avoid packing money, jewelery, travel documents, medication, keys and other valuables in your suitcase. carry these items with you.
i hope that some gave you good ideas on how to pack. good luck with exams and enjoy your summer, everyone!
