Hi all!
My parents and I will be travelling to Switzerland and Italy this month. As this will be the first time we are going to Europe, there are simply too many questions in our minds regarding this trip. Hope someone can help me.
1) How's the weather condition there now? Need to bring thick clothings? Which places really require thick clothings?
2) I read from some of the posts here that water is really not easily available in hotels. Then, what do you guys do when you want to cook instant noodles? Do you really bring a mini boiler? Any problem with customs?
3) Do anyone of you bring travel size iron?
4) I heard a lot about pickpockets in Europe. Is it really that prevalent? Are we supposed to leave all our branded bags and watches in Spore and try to dress down in Europe? Safer this way?
5) Do you really strap a money belt around your waist? What do you put in the money belt? How do you keep your valuables, like passports, air tickets and cash?
6) What are the must-buys in Switzerland and Italy?
7) How do you pack your luggage? 1 shirt or blouse per day? If you buy a Gucci in Italy, how do you pack it? Any worries that luggage will be lost?
8) Do you explore the city on your own when the group returns to the hotel? Is it safe?
Sorry for being so chiong hay. Wanna be well prepared cos this trip is for my parents.
Appreciate any inputs or extra info to make my trip a joyous one.
Thanks!!!!
