Do you take plastic cups?
I read everywhere in reviews of hotels that they recommend taking your own plastic glasses for drinks so as not to constantly run around 50 grams. Do you take, and if so, which ones? Show how they look plz.

EvgeniyGG, by chance after the first trip to Egypt, as an inexperienced tourist, put together a whole list of necessary things, without which my first experience turned out to be a little uncomfortable. Now for the second decade I have been flying with items from this list. There is a travel iron and a knife too. Why run around and ask if it's not hard to take your own.

And I always have a rope with clothespins in the pocket of my suitcase. Like thread and a needle. We rested in Sierra for the first time in 2006. So there was a guest kit in the room - thread with a needle and a nail file. Now I don't see it anywhere. And it wouldn't hurt.

Mdya already ... carrying plastic cups ... A knife in luggage is sacred. If excursions are supposed - you need a container for drinking - this is a folding cup, the size is minimal and the weight is also. Although there are half-liter bottles of water on site, but suddenly .. An iron? There are enough clothes that you don't need to iron. what needs to be ironed stays at home :)) Depending on where, in which hotel and for what purposes - you can grab a folding spoon-fork, a boiler, a thermos - well, this is already according to the circumstances :)) IMHO ..

super.mila2905,
for the first time in foreign countries we got - as we were told - into a weak C grade in Pattaya with BB. so there in the room, not to mention all the cosmetics, there was a full stuffing from a toothbrush with weekly paste, a machine with cream, clothes and shoe brushes (disposable!), bathrobes, slippers and all other little things that you don’t think about when they at hand
... and then we went to Egi ..))). and ofigeli from fives, where everything must be either asked or demanded.
ps I’ll say right away: we found a hotel for ourselves, where everything suits us ... but they don’t give machines with brushes here))

A wrench was a necessity at one time. When you leave your car for three weeks at the airport in Novosibirsk in winter, there is a chance that the battery will run out. So I threw off the terminal before the holidays.
Without nail clippers on vacation, unfortunately, I also can not do. And their irons, glasses, cutlery were never needed on vacation. In hotels, at the first request, they always gave an iron, a corkscrew, plates with glasses, and knives with forks.

"I'll add a tee extension. The fumigator is always in the suitcase. A light knife in a case is sacred. And a plastic one with ribs for packing luggage (we always take packing sets). Shoe covers are a must."
What are the packaging kits? Maybe I need it too

svarjuna, clothes that do not need to be ironed are usually synthetics. Do you go in the heat in synthetics ??? All things for hot weather are usually cotton. got it. If things were taken out of the harvester, then when transported in a suitcase they still have creases that are unconventional for this type, which means they still look wrinkled. Before the trip, I iron all things at home, put them in an organizer, and only then in a suitcase. to smooth out only the creases, it is very convenient. However, a lot of people do not bother with this.

Shoe covers, especially now, are the most necessary thing. They constantly blow up, why collect someone else's dirt on their feet or socks.

Apyatka is not rhetorical, really why?) There are always glasses in the hotel! Is always! Even if it suddenly didn’t turn out .. for example, I have a brush in a special tube for brushes, why would I need a glass?)) Eh .... you’ll forgive the greenhouses ... but what about the people who meet you on the way? Ask for a plastic glass, buy it for a penny. Of course, if you use a car, you can take anything, I agree. But we're not talking about traveling by car. Spoons, mugs are about traveling by car, as I understand it? Or hotels too? I would find a replacement - I would buy drinking yogurt. I would have bought it with a spoon, I would have bought something else instead of yogurt.)) As for me, a mug and a spoon are needed only when hiking .. And even then not in all. .in the Himalayas this is not necessary ... Of course, to each his own. I repeat, people have become lazy and not inventive. And imagine that you find yourself in an unforeseen situation., it’s quite real that then without all these mugs, glasses, spoons, irons, etc.?)) I have no complaints, it’s just always interesting to understand what a person is guided by.

lana_181,
what guides a person
your sense of comfort. it is uncomfortable for someone to drink coffee from a glass, for someone to sleep on hotel sheets. someone loves olink, and someone rides ro.
you don’t take a hair dryer, for example, but in return you take 5 pairs of shoes (conditionally I ... there’s something in your suitcase, since you don’t have it empty) ...
it’s easy for you to run across the hotel to the kitchen, ask for a knife, cut everything at a run and gallop back the tool of someone else’s production. It's easy for me to ask - it's hard for me to strain a person. it's like my working computer someone would take

YaSlavnaYa is about comfort .. these are tourists. travelers are different)) My suitcase is always half empty, because I'm bringing something back)) from the countries I'm going to. And that something can take up a lot of space. And, of course, I also take things with me, since I .. now throw slippers on)) I don’t wash when I travel. This is comfort for me - do not wash when traveling)) But there are not so many things, still a half-empty suitcase. As for the knife.. uh, not like that. Well, usually what do I need to cut? Fruit? Hmm ... there are several options - a life hack, as it is now fashionable to say - ask to cut it, if it's a hotel, they will do it. with a smile and always. if I take a knife, it is always with the reservation that I will bring it as I can. where did you see one knife in the hotel kitchen? And what does it mean to strain a person. How do you strain him? If someone asks you to pass a spoon or knife at the next table, will they strain you? Hmm, strange. Regarding squeamishness, I am very squeamish, you can easily wash the knife yourself, and even treat it with alcohol, right? )

lana_181, It's been 8 years since I've been in hotels. For 1 trip I have from 5 hotels. Sometimes 12) Most often 1-2 - 3 nights each and overnight only. And most of the time I'm kind of on a hike) In every hotel to get settled, ask to go - no, thank you)
But even in one I would not sit in a hotel. We take a car most often, but there are also trips by public transport. My suitcases are tiny, they don't have more things than you, I think.
It is fashionable to go and buy what you need, but why? I already know what I need. And if something is unforeseen, then yes, I go, I ask, I buy, I search. But I don't like wasting my time.

Apyatka, do you ask to cut something every time? ) . I have such a question arises in one of 10 trips. It's like buying a fish in a fish market, for example, you don't go to clean it yourself if you're somewhere in Italy, or maybe you go? Me not. everyone does it in the market ... and so in everything .. This is called a service. And not being able to ask is still pride ... Okay .. we each voiced our position. Where I can do without a lot. You can’t, but we are all different for this)

lana_181,
I will not argue with you. You live this way, I live differently. each of us has our own experience, our own habits, our own vision of correctness or convenience.
25 years of my travels have taught me not to rely on chance - and I'm glad for that. yes, I can drink vodka from cucumber, but it’s more convenient for me from a thermo mug. I can buy liquid yogurt, but why, if I like thick fat. and I know how to file a broken nail with a brick - but why, if there is a diamond nail file in Victorinox?
from everyone who carries everything that carries I will say three words: WE ARE SO COMFORTABLE!

And, by the way, about "buy". we have polluted the planet so much that I'd rather travel with one mug than produce disposable rubbish, buying something - and throwing it away ... and buying again (Greta Tumberg raised her head, looked around with the eyes of Konstantinovna's hope - and fell asleep again)

YaSlavnaYa, 200% support. And I try to carry everything that I might need on vacation. The list, compiled 20 years ago, is sometimes supplemented with a new item (depending on the season, the set of clothes changes).
And if I say that I’m also taking a curling iron with me. I would like to read some more thoughts on this.
I'm taking it because I'm GOOD!!!

By God, it's funny to read "why do you take this and that, but here I am ..." and then the list, as it should be :)))
Who cares what's in other people's suitcases, how much they weigh and who carries them?
Who cares about someone else's laziness, spoiledness, unsuitability, pride, and what else was there? And, - the lack of "ingenuity", in other words - the ingenuity of hard times, a la the USSR.

Pachok hmm .. and where did anyone write about correctly? So those who write we are taking and now and then they think it is right. I just think it's redundant. And that's all, no more. You don't have to think about what doesn't exist. A la the USSR, it’s just to carry everything with you and the food that many people take with them to another country) I have never seen a European, specifically Germans, Belgians, Italians, for example, to carry food with them to another country ... so about the USSR it's just about dragging everything.

lana_181, someone has enough imagination to find, someone has the mind to take with him ... There is nothing to argue about ... Someone considers it comfortable to take the necessary items with them in a cosmetic bag and not to bathe, and someone to run and get. For example, tourists got me, who every time ask for a pen to issue a migration card .. Each trip - minus a pen upon arrival, because no one wants to wait because of a penny pen. And on departure, the same story, only the pen is returned. : well, you forgot a pen upon arrival - so buy yourself a rest period, they are in every shop, like souvenirs .. So no, they rest, they don’t take a steam bath - and then turn on the fantasy, run and get it. It’s especially charming when you write, but the earner above the soul stands like a kite)))

By the way, about the Germans
on our first visit to the Royal Grand, they marinated us exactly until 14-01. We arrived at about 6:00 in the morning. Germans flew in parallel with us.
we (throw me with slippers - mine just broke) had sandwiches with us - chic, my husband cooked at home lovingly, knowing that he would not have breakfast. and how the gentlemen from Deutschland ate them together with us, but under our chains - mmmm !!!
so - yes, the Germans do not carry with them to another country. but eat - with pleasure! checked)))
ps: and then they drank beer with us with smelt on a beach bar. and they said the fish is gut. and that they will also take from home))). True, I won’t lie, they take it or not - I don’t know

alla.neshcheretnaya about already something, if only you were right?)) Well, what do the little things like a pen, a nail file, a clothesline have to do with it? It all started with plastic cups)) I carry a pen with me, but not for the sake of migration, but in principle always)) So this is not an iron or a hair dryer, agree?)) It doesn’t take up much space. Like the nail file. Who wrote about the diamond one there .. it was once taken away from me.

lana_181, You do not just consider it superfluous, you are trying to bite those who think differently.
Read your posts - everything is there: both laziness, and uninventiveness, and pride, "you can't ask."
And the stubborn imposition of the thought "you can not live without something", when in fact it is about the fact that people do not want without something. Not being able and not wanting are completely different concepts.
People absolutely don’t care what you take or don’t take with you, and you have already gone round the second round to prove that the contents of other people’s suitcases are wrong.
