Bab baju n kasut: 1-Baju = Sept dah autumm , sejuk juga. Bawalah few sweater dalam 3 ke, themal dalam 2 ke. Kasut - sport shoes better kot sebab sejuk. Nanti sampai sini nak kasut fancy2 ada boleh dapat. Selipar jepun ke utk di rumah.
Kat sini charity shop banyak(second hand baju) So kalau beli kat sini , oklah condition baju pun masih ok. Terpulang kpd taste masing2.
Kalau nak bawa cam ikan bilis ke , bawa dalam 1 Kg aje airport UK regulations. Ok dia tak buang,tapi serunding nasib. Kalau berani bawa, kalau was2 tak yah. Pos aje. Di airport semua ikut nasib dan izin Allah. Kalau nasib baik lepas.
1. kalau terasa nak beli winter jacket kat mesia... jangan beli!! satu... mahal. dua... mungkin tak sesuai utk kat sini. tiga... kat sini lagi banyak choices and relatively cheaper. bawak sweater je cukup. lain carik kat sini.
2. selimut/gebar pun jgn bawak.... (selimut MAS?? sendri mau ingat la...heheheh)
3. sebelum sampai, contact org kat sini (phone/email/forum) or malaysian soc. dah sampai pun contact jugak....
suatu ketika dulu, kalau la ada org advise aku properly masa first time datang uk ni.... brg2 yg aku bawak could be
t-shirt 5/6 helai, jeans 3/4 helai, accessories dalaman....secukup rasa, sweater 1 helai (pegang atau hand luggage... kang sampai airport sini jenuh lak nak bukak bag luggage), socks, toiletteries, instant food for 1 or 2 days...just in case (tu la pasal suruh contact org sini sebelum sampai), paling penting bawak cash...small change. lagi satu kalau boleh bawak la baju raya...kat sini takde jual baju melayu/kurung...heheheh. ni rasanya baru 10kg. boleh tambah benda lain cukupkan 20kg....
elaun cukup ke tak???? single 480/mth... tu kire cukup2 makan la... tp kalau pandai jimat, tak shopping bule survive! my advice, bawa extra money (btk bank draft/traveller cheque/etc) tuk settle down dlm 1-2 minggu. kalau tak bawa winter jacket, so duit extra tu la nak beli2 apa2 yg disaran kan di atas tu... tp yg penting termal kot... kena beli sepsg dua... sbb sini susah nak cari dan mahal jugak la rasa...
ye ke cukup2 mkn fidah??? alamak..kene la berjimat nmpknye....tak bole nk shopping la. kene tunggu few months, after maintain baru bole shopping. sape ada dgr regulations baru kat Heathrow? kalo ada sesapa dgr citer, kongsi2 la dgn saya di sini.......
since now all passengers from Malaysia will touch down at Heathrow airport, please bear in mind now, the security at the airports is very much strict due to recent so-called airport terror. since my parents are leaving from Heathrow at the end of the month, i'll let you know the experience later.
if possible, please avoid bringing things that can cause suspicious...you'll get the stern look from airport custom officers, or even worse, you'll get questioned by them. if you bring some medication, make sure you get your doctor's prescription letter (that's what the news suggested).
i watched a channel4 news recently, they even suggested not to bring a water bottle in the aircraft. they advised if we had to drink, then drink before boarding or in the aeroplane.
watched the 5 news today - the outbound security is still very tight but the inbound is just so so. but they are going to lift the extra checking soon due to flight company demanding compensation. from previous experience the normal prohibited items are meat, fish, fruits, dairy products..... from brochure at the airport.
kalau takut kena rampas pos dulu..... kapal laut around 1.5~2 mths. (20kg=~RM160)
you have another option kalau tak nak ke Heathrow. Nie yg sy buat last year, from KUL->AMSTERDAM->MANCHESTER. KUL->AMS (MAS), pastu naik KLM. Sampai AMS, tak pegi mane...tak go thru custom ker apa ker... terus ke platform utk next flight to MAN. From AMS to MAN lebih kurang 1- 1.5 hrs
tq. errm..bagus tu cadangan u Fidah. Kalo I turun kt heathrow, then change flight to Manchstr, still tak kene check kan??? kalo kene check, i think better ikut cara u. KLIA - AMS - MANCHSTER...
