Twenty one posts in the Small Things series! すごいです!
Also thank you to my amazing Japanese friend for showing me the adorableness of すごいです. The reason this is adorable and cute is because すごい means "wow" and です makes things polite and you don't usually see です after すごい. Or maybe you do. I had never seen it before so when I saw it in an email I melted from the cuteness.
Anyway, I'm leaving for Japan in less than four weeks and I have a lot of stuff to organize (also finals...ugh don't remind me). To help organize everything, I have been using that lovely function that has been added to websites just in my lifetime and that is the list making function. Back when I first started using the internet much and having accounts you couldn't really be specific about lists beyond favorites, but nowadays most sites have the option for you to create custom lists. So I've been doing that. And naming all the lists Japan Things because that is how I roll.
First things first I made a list in my email that has all my flight itineraries, directions, and instructions for all my travel. Don't want to have to dig through a ton of emails to be able to find directions. Also, yeah, I still get tons of college emails. Welcome to being a high school student.
I also made a list of things on Amazon that I should get before I go but Amazon can ship some stuff to Japan so that is an option as well. This is mostly for things like power adapters and clothes drying hangers. Just general things that you might need.
And I also made a list on Etsy for more artistic things I could want like a proper wallet, face masks, and luggage tags. You can actually see some of the stuff I'm looking at in this one.
Lastly I have a list on iHerb. iHerb is nice because they can ship some stuff to Japan so if you can't get something there that you really want you can probably order it. Shipping isn't too bad but I'm not sure how long it will take.
And yes that is cereal because cereal is important. Anyway, make all the lists, both online and on paper. Lists are very important to travel. I've been making so many lists I'm starting to feel like Jane Villanueva from Jane the Virgin.
