Well, it's May...that means that in less than a month, I'll be on a plane and headed for Spain. I could not be more excited or terrified.One of the most difficult things for me (prior to the trip) will be packing. I tend to overpack, and I know that I can't do this because I'm going to want to buy all kinds of treasures while I'm abroad. I realized that there are some things that I should just buy once I arrive. Everyone tells me to buy a hair dryer overseas and just leave it there...then I realized that I had no idea how to say that, which would cause problems in locating one in a store. I decided that it was time to make a list, and it made sense to make the list in Spanish since that's how things will be labeled in Spain. I had to consult wordreference.com for a few of these things, but I did know most of them. My next project is to see if I can research how stores are set up overseas in comparison to the ones here. This is my list so far, but I'm sure I will think of more to add to it as the time gets closer.
Celular
Secador de pelo
Sello/estampilla
Champú
Acondicionador
Jabón
Medicina
I realized that this would be a good pretend project for my students when studying travel. I would also have them research the different types of products available; they may always use Tresamme shampoo, but is that available in their target country? I feel like this could grow into something quite large, so I'm going to stop while I'm ahead. :)
