Packing List for South Asia

Here are a few ideas I have to help those of you who are packing to head to the other side of the world, specifically South Asia:

Fitted sheets - king size and twin size (these are the most common bed sizes)
Favorite toys
Favorite books
If you are crafty, bring your favorite craft supplies.
Some of your favorite western clothes can be brought to wear at home if you will not be going out on some days or if you will be in a larger city; also you will want to bring clothes for exercising
A good pair of sandals (or something easy to slip on and off because it is customary to remove your shoes in homes) and a good pair of tennis shoes
Photo albums (but keep in mind these may have to be left behind if for some reason you are unable to return in an emergency situation)
Medical records
Any prescription medicines (at least three month's worth to give you time to find out if it is available here and to ask it to be mailed if it is not available)
Maple flavoring
Vanilla extract
Brown sugar
Koolaid, Gatorade powder or other drink mixes
Cream of tartar
Parmesan cheese
Karo syrup
Chicken bouillon
Yeast (it is available here but it can be unreliable)

Proverbs 31

"A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands. She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar. She gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls. She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard. She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.
She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night. In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers. She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy. When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet. She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and purple. Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes. She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: "Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all." Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate."
