I've started to pack for my 2 weeks Europe trip since last Sunday....this trip is a backpacking trip...and I've bought a new 80L backpack! My friends, parents and sister were telling me - are u nuts or what? The bag itself is more than half of ur height already...u sure u wan to buy that or not? How are you going to carry it when its fully stuffed with things?? Well...being ignorant and kiasu...of coz I just ignore all those and go ahead with my 80L backpack...and guess wat??? IT'S NOT EVEN ENOUGH!!
So... now...I will need to scratch my head see which items I can leave it behind....and trying to reduce it....uuuu....hard...real hard!No matter how, I must die die fit in all my needed stuff into the backpack...then, my next challenge is to carry it.....i am not sure whether I have that energy...coz I've tried it when its 80% full...wah, really heavy, carry more than a minute I can feel the ache already.....but being a fruit, I must think positively also la and who knows I will lose few kgs becoz of carrying that big stone on my back?? Hehe...
Anyway....will see how... :P

Kiasu fruit,
The rules of thumb in backpacking (seriously suggested by Lonely Planet) is to pack, then after packing, reduce 2/3 of your packing. That would then very appropriate.
Also, bring as less cloths as possible because you can buy the cheap T-shirt along your journey. Don't bring make up thing, bring disposable shampoo, soap...
Trust me, the weight of backpack can kill your joy of travel. TRAVEL LIGHT!
