so you can undress and jump into the Rhine with your bathing suit and then get out and put on your clothes again.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Study Abroad
Miscellaneous: Things that are essential if you are working/studying abroad for a significant period of time (ie more than a few weeks:
1. Comfortable day pack - I love my Vango one.
2. Personal CD player/mini disc and travel speakers, I'd be lost without them.
3. Guide book for the country you are living in, mine is now looking severely battered and is very well used.
4. The odd poster/postcard to make your room/slum/executive flat look a bit more like home.

Miscellaneous: Insect repellant for those summer nights sat by the river. The bugs arn't too bad at all, but if your a walking banquet for mossies, midges etc like I am then you will find it useful.
