It seems like a lot of people don't like the bed mats? I found them quite comfy.


Because of sneezing, blood, pus, dead hair & skin flakes & other bodily fluids, most Westerners prefer to protect the mattress with bedsheets, which are far easier to wash weekly, than the mattress.

Korean bed mats are fine in a motel for a night or 2, but I have no idea how they dryclean the mattress.

Zippy had his boss buy him a new mattress at his first place because it was so gross. And he took his own sheets, pillow, pillow cases, even a down comforter. Get space bags, they really work.

Rob, take plenty of trousers and jeans, loose shirts for summer, vests, sweaters for winter, etc. You may have to pay the extra baggage fee, but the space bags will help you fit them in the luggage. You can fit dress shoes and a pair of sandals in the bottom of a suit bag too.

Aluminum lax sticks aren't much weight and like I said, you can tie them to the outside of a suitcase. The airlines are fine with that. I don't know that all (casual) players there would have all the other gear. Just play like gentlemen and try not to send each other to the hospital. Twisted Evil

You know deep down. They don't wash them. I'm so wasted when I go to those places the thought of that doesn't stop me from stabbling.

Eww. Everything in my apartment was brand-new, including the bed. Maybe I will bring sheets this time.
