Items that Might Be Important
Remember, your luggage is limited in weight and volume, so bring items that you will definitely need and use while in the UK.
Don't forget to bring clothes for all 4 seasons (Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring). Throughout the year, the weather here tends to be quite cold due to the wind.
Bring personal items to support your studies, for example: electronics, stationery, calculator, laptop.
Bring a UK to Indo/EU socket adapter (preferably a multi-region one to use during transit/transfer),
(Optional and Practical) Indonesian Instant Food/Spices (e.g. Racik/ Bamboe/ Mahmuddah ) in powder or paste will be very useful/ helpful for cooking Indonesian dishes while living in the UK. The most difficult to find are Petis, Kemiri/ Candlenut, Kunci, Lengkuas/ Galangal, dan Kencur.
A portable bidet will come in handy for adaptability and ease of answering nature's call.
Pro Tip : Please make sure your gadget (Phone or Laptop) in tip-top condition, the service fee here can be expensive. If possible, think about investing in a new gadget. #LessDrama
Pro Tip for Spice : Spices such as Kunci or Kencur, if possible, sliced thinly and dried in the sun to make it more durable and easy to carry.
Small things but significant: Rubber Band. Unlike in Indonesia that we easily find rubber band from buying take aways, it is hard to find rubber band. It is wise to bring a few to start your life. Thanks me later π
