Stuff you pack for trips

[Din0saurus]

Just found out that actually most hotels do provide laundry service. But not all have those coin laundry machines.

Those who send your clothes to the laundry service. Do you include your undergarments too and do they accept it?

Yes, if they charge per kg. Not worth it if they charge per piece. I’ve stayed at some place that charged 9eur per t shirt and decided to hand wash.

How compact (Uniqlo example) - https://www.uniqlo.com/sg/store/women-ultra-light-down-jacket-4091120010.html?colorc=COL09

You see it packs into one ball? This compact. Haha.

Pricing wise, I think $20 or so.

Nice! The ultra light down is the one i have that i mentioned. Wah 20? Share your lobang leh where to get ah.. Hahah

I have the uniqlo ultralight down jacket (with hood) and ultralight down vest.

The jacket was S$99, although I bought mine in Seoul. Not exactly like a ball, more like a loaf of bread. Size L weighs about 290g, which is a good weight for a down jacket.

Decathlon also sells down jackets. I believe theirs is around $60 and uses 800-rated down. Uniqlo's are just rated 500. The higher the rating, the better warmer.

After winter season, Uniqlo will have big discounts for their winter wear. You can get the jackets cheaper, but not $20 lar. More like $50-70.

I almost forgot. I use to bring those black tape from army days to tape down the button knobs of hairdryers to dry my clothes

Direct from factory

I originally wanted free samples

Those samples, after checking, if no problems, will be retailing at more than $100+. WTH.

There is no Ralph Lauren factory and merchandising office in Singapore. Samples made by the factories are sent to the HK RL office for QC and checks. My cousin is working in the RL merchandising office in HK. I used to work in the RL merchandising office too.

Pricey, but at least u can get whatever u need locally. If u are willing to wait for overseas delivery, the prices from overseas better mostly.
