Sicheii Yazhi

My parents, my girlfriend, and I will be spending three weeks in and around Germany (specifically, my dad’s hometown of Regensburg). A cousin of mine is getting married, and my aunts are celebrating their birthdays, so we’re going to join in the festivities and then see some of the surrounding areas.

We spent the day packing, figuring out how to fit everything into the suitcases. Three weeks is a strange amount of time. It’s not that long (like two months would be), but it’s long enough that you have to prepare for a few different temperatures and a few different occasions: touristy hiking about, dining out or going to a bar/club, going to my cousin’s wedding, etc. I’m positive I packed too much, but as long as the suitcases are under weight, it’ll do.

My carry-on is packed with goodies: laptop, camera, books, and various cables, chargers, and converters. If that gets swiped while touring around Madrid during our layover, it’ll be a major hit. I’ll be keeping it close.

We’ll leave soon, then it’s an 8-hour flight to Madrid, a 6-hour layover there, and a 2-hour flight into Munich. We should be in Germany and unpacking by 7:00pm on Monday — Germany time. More soon!
