I believe many of you have the same feeling with me that there are so many stuff to pack for traveling, even if it's just a weekend long. This packing method that I saw online will be super useful to travelers like me. It's called the Bundled Wrapping method. The tension invoked by this method not only saves space, but reduces the chance that your clothes will wrinkle.

Thanks to Tom for uploading this great demo video. Hope it was a useful packing tip for travelers.
Hey guys I'm writing this blog post in Philadelphia. I just thought that it would be meaningful to post an entry while traveling; it makes me feel like those world travel writers, although Philadelphia is not that far from New Jersey. I left around noon today but I didn't start packing until 11 am. So I want to write a How-to blog to people who leave packing to the last minute!
Folding a T-Shirt only takes 5 seconds or even less after some practice.
Place the T-Shirt on a flat surface. Lay the T-Shirt facing up and with the neck to your right and bottom to your left.
Imagine a line going across in the middle of the T-Shirt. This line should be parallel to the bottom of the T-Shirt.
Imagine another line going from the middle of shoulder to the bottom. This line is usually longer than the line mentioned in No.2. This line is parallel to the side of the T-Shirt.
Pinch the starting point of line mentioned in No.3. It should be located in the middle of one shoulder.
Pinch the fabric of which the two lines cross each other. Pinch with your thumb and index finger and make sure that you have both front and back of the T-shirt.
Bring the pinched shoulder seam to the bottom. While keeping the first pinch in the same place, bring your shoulder pinch hand to the bottom from behind the first pinch, and pinch the bottom seam of the line mentioned in No.3 with the same hand.
Uncross your hands and lift the T-Shirt up. Right now your arms are crossed. Uncross them and lift the T-Shirt from the surface. The T-Shirt should be hanging down from your hands with a loose sleeve dangling at the bottom.
Fold the loose sleeve under.
And you are done!
Just in case you want to see how it is done visually, here is a video tutorial from YouTube. Last but not least, practice practice and more practice because practice makes perfect! Hope this How-to post can speed up your last-minute packing!
Have you ever visited sites where movies or TV shows that you like were shot in? There are many reasons for me to travel as I mentioned in my previous blog posts; besides my interest in learning foreign cultures, this is another one. I believe that sites of movies and TV shows that you enjoy are meaningful to visit because knowing you are at the very spot where the scene in movie has taken place can provide you with more understanding of the movie as well as to the place. I've been wanting to visit Hokkaido, Japan ever since I saw a movie called "If You Are The One". The scenery of Hokkaido compliments the love story and made the movie well-known, and at the same time tourism in Hokkaido became popular because of this movie.
There are many combinations of sites and movies like this. There is a "Lord of the Rings" tour in New Zealand, "Harry Potter" tour in England and "Midnight in Paris" tour in France. The video below introduces the New York City sites that "Man in Black" were filmed at.
This video is posted by On Location Tours, the largest TV and Movie tour company in the world. The company has uploaded several videos featuring Sex and the City Hotspots, Gossip Girl Sites and Soprano Sites. I live in New Jersey and I think that it's amazing to be so close to one of the most filmed cities, New York City. A day trip to NYC visiting some famous movie sites will be a perfect weekend for me!
