Japan

[chezmax]

Oh dear. I leave for Japan a week from today.

I'm totally not ready.

Well, I have a plane ticket, and a rail ticket, and I know where my passport is.

Things I need to remember to do:
Call Visa/My Bank. Tell them I'll be in a different country, and not to disable my card when charges start showing up from really weird place. Done
Pack.
Make a list of people who want postcards (inform me if you want a postcard: my first name which is at alleged networks... even if you think I have your address, send me an email so it'll be on the list)
Check my power adapters to see if they're 100V compatible.
Look for my travel insurance information and any cards I may need to carry.

Erm... I'm sure I'm forgetting important things.... Any ideas?

advil/immodium/gravol. the addage about drinking the local water is not unfounded.

It's likely to be problematic to take many non-prescription drugs across borders. :/

We'll see how it goes :)

Shouldn't be a problem at all, assuming it's not huge boxes of uncommon valuable drugs.

If you've got room, I'd bring advil & maybe immodium. (nothing's worse than trying to figure out how to get headache drugs when your head's pounding... unless it's trying to figure out how to get immodium...)

original packaging is key, otherwise you're good.
