Nothing really special about the packaging, but I probably travel less light than I '. I wheel a suitcase Victorinox NorthFace a backpack with all fragile items - laptops and cameras for the most part - and a tripod in a third bag. I can manage well with everything, but I'm not exactly light on my feet. I generally get along. Backpack on one shoulder, a tripod on the other, and the bag behind. Again, if you want advice on travel light, I'm not your man. I have waaaay too much. Do you have someone to help you achieve this? Where do you usually stay, anyway? Hotels?

Hostel in Berlin Pfefferrebet was clean and adequate but not cheap for a hostel. I paid 59 euros for a private room. There was also a bit noisy, and I need quiet to work and sleep. So I upgraded to the Hotel Amano, a very elegant place, and about 25 Euros more a night. The room was tiny and the heat did not work. Berlin has not been great about hosting. In Warsaw, where I stayed in an exquisite hotel. The hotels are relatively cheap here, even the nicest, so I just treated. The room was beautiful, staff very helpful, if the Internet was a bit expensive, which has been a problem for me. But I highly recommend the place - the Hotel Rialto. Food wise, it varied. I tasted kosher ghoulash Hungarian in Budapest and Vienna Wienerschitzel kosher. But this region is the land of meat and potatoes, and frankly it is old style.
