toolboxItems 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.

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 😄
