How to pack you bag like an Asian going back to Asia: 15% clothes 10% electronics 35% snacks for the trip 60% gifts and other items for other people (Family, Coworkers, Friends, Family Friends, Your boss's friends stepson, etc.)
The math doesn't add up, I know, since we like to pack in everything possible. I've honestly gone on trips back to Asia where 90% of my suitcase wasn't my stuff. I came back with an extra suitcase full of gifts and other items to give to people, and I had to leave some behind in Asia because it was too much. I swear this happens every single time me or anyone I know goes back to visit family in Asia....
I've been living in Japan for a while now, and so knowing Japanese people I can definitely vouch for this. lol. Btw, I just discovered your work while looking for fun comics to show my students. I'm an English teacher here in Japan. Now, I'm a huge fan of your work. (:
This is more common with people from southern Italy. If you do speak a little of Italian, please go check "Casa Surace" on YouTube, they make funny videos about the differences between Italians from the north and the south :D
