Packing questions?
 
I have searched Forums and nothing turns up :)

Can the following be packed in container?
Toy guns
Spices

Does photograhps need to be in albums?

Is it normal to think what the **** am i doing going to the otherside of the world at least once a day:unsure:

toy guns - yes - might be a better idea to buy new ones though and bin those.

Spices - No. Some are seeds, all must be declared as food so customs will have a good root round your stuff if you do takethem - Better to bin them and buy them over there.

Photographs dont have to be in an album but it is a good idea to scan them all and have them on disk, just in case something happens to them. You will then have back-up copies on disk.

Yes it's normal to think that.

Hi Elaine,
You'll be fine. It's a once in a life time's decision which you should grab with both hands. You do know that you will not have to live their forever it's a 2year lifetime experience that by the end of that you can then decide, yes I want to live here or no it's not for me. Either way you will get through the next few weeks say your goodbyes and get some sun and time out from the norm. Just remember its a life time experience which you deserve! :D
