"one week, you say?" trust me, walang makakapansin. :D 2. know the voltage and type of electrical outlets they use. kung 220 rin, swerte ka. bring a converter kung iba yung outlets nila. the last thing you want to happen is to be beside the outlet, ready to charge your low-batt cellphone/laptop, and find that di pala compatible yung saksakan. 3. don't put all your clothes in your check-in luggage/s. have at least one change of clothes in your carry-on, just in case something happens to your luggage (knock on wood). put your essentials in your carry-on also: cellphone, charger, important docs, toiletries, lahat ng kelangan mo to survive in the event that something does happen to your bagahe. ALWAYS get a claim stub for any luggage you check in. dati kasi, when our family was going to the US, we checked in 6 luggages but got only 5 claim stubs. yung g*go na nasa counter, sabi niya oks lang daw yun cuz lahat naman mapapadala sa US, and yung bagahe daw na walang tag, edi yun yung amin. buti nalang makulit tatay ko. turns out di nga mapapadala yung bagahe na walang tag. we found the untagged luggage sa isang office sa ilalim ng NAIA. some quirky things i’ve learned in my travels:

I once picked my luggage I thought was mine, and the other guy picked his luggage he thought was his,... yon pala nagkapalit kami. Our bags were almost identical! pero nabuksan ko na at nabukatkat ang bag nya, hahaha. I ended standing at the front of the airport with the guys bag....and he returned, after an hour, carrying mine. Of course, I was delayed but was able to catch my connecting flight. Ingat. Tag your bag.

Believe me, GPRS is a lot cheaper abroad than sms when your counting per letter and not per message. And don't worry about the silly Smart Pricing, they don't apply when roaming. Try out YehBA* at http://www.yehba.com ( Use the symbian version ) ... believe me you'll love using it there. I suggest you install your favorite Mobile IM on your phone, 3230 right?
