What to bring for a long stay: cooking tools etc
I've been staying in Tirana Albania for three weeks. I noticed that I forgot to bring several items. I write down what to bring for a long stay so that I can be better equipped for the next one probably in Thailand next year. I suppose my stay not at a hotel room but at an Airbnb kind of accommodation with a kitchen. Here is the list:
- Sharp knife for cooking
- Good dish cloth
- 12cm pot and lid
- Camping mug cup
- Japanese food ingredients (seaweed, Japanese baked wheat gluten, matcha ...)
- Origami
- Medication for stomachache, headache and cold
- +++ Provance or toscana herb mix
- +++ Provance or toscana herb mix
I'm happy to cook by myself with local ingredients as much as eating outside. I miss my sharp Japanese knife as I didn't have one so far at any of our accommodations ... I also miss my dish clothes that absorb water and dry dishes well. Next time I bring my knife wrapped with a pair of dish clothes. Airbnb accommodations often lack small cooking equipments that is convenient to boil water and cook my single person amount or baby food. I know 12cm pot is not common so I'd better bring mine. A mug can be optional but sometimes I feel comfortable about a mug in a size I get used to. And it's multi purpose.
Japanese stuffs are helpful as a conversation starter or as a small gift. We made Sushi in Tirana to say thank you for inviting us. I often gave a Origami crane when I hitchhiked. They are light weight and don't take much space in suitcase.
Last but not least, it's important to bring medication. Luckily I did not need them so far but as I was about to catching a cold last week I add it to my list.
I wish I don't forget that I made this list
切れ味の悪い包丁はストレスになりますものね。
次回は是非お持ちください。
もう本当に!前日研いでおいたのですが、「国によっては刃物の持ち込みNGかもよ」と言われ、びびって直前に断念してしまったのを大後悔している次第です。砥石を持っていくのもありかなと思いました。ホームシックならぬナイフシックです ;)
