5 Laws Anyone Working in 대구출장 Should Know

Posted by Atilano on June 1st, 2021

Through my work as an Image Consultant, I often advise professionals who are required to make frequent business trips for varying lengths of time. Many of them struggle with keeping their packing compact and down to the essentials and be confident that they have everything they need.

The first steps to making your packing a very easy task, is to have a capsule working wardrobe. You can achieve this by knowing your best colours and styles which suit you. This will ensure that whenever you add a new item to your wardrobe, you can be confident that it will work with an existing suit or shirt, smart casual trousers.

So, assuming that you have been following your best colour and style rules, the following will be a breeze for you each time you have to pack for a business trip.

Some basic rules:

Take as little as possible on your trip

Wear your heaviest shoes. Pack shoes at the bottom of your case to avoid crushing any clothes. Utilise the space these shoes provide you with and pack small, soft items such as socks in the shoes that you pack.

Buy travel sized toiletries and keep them only for travelling. Collecting small shampoos and shower gels from hotels will mean you always have travel sized toiletries on the ready. Pack the toiletries in a toiletry bag or waterproof bag to avoid any damages to clothes if any of them leak.

Take an extra waterproof bag for packing wet/dirty clothes for your return trip or use the plastic laundry bag from the hotel room for this purpose. Below is a packing planner for a 3 night business trip where you have no laundry facilities. Follow this planner and you can be sure you will have everything you need with you and packed properly, will arrive as crisp as it was when packed!

1 sports/casual jacket, 1 pair smart trousers, 1 navy suit, 1 grey suit, 1 pair jeans, 1 t-shirt, 1 polo shirt, 1 casual shirt,(or 2 casual shirts if not a polo shirt) 3 formal shirts, 1 pair formal shoes, 1 pair loafers, 4 pairs underpants/boxer shorts, 5 pairs socks, 3 ties, 2 belts (1 for suits, 1 for jeans), 3 handkerchiefs.

Travel comfortably but not in your jeans if you want to increase your chance of a flight upgrade! By following your capsule wardrobe rules, your 3 shirts and ties are able to be worn with your Navy or your Grey suits.

If your next business trip is to Kuala Lumpur, and you also expect to have some down time between work commitments to do some sightseeing, eating/socializing and shopping.? 대구출장 Here is the low down on how to get the most out of your business trip to Kuala Lumpur to make it more fun and interesting:

Where to Stay. Most business travelers to Kuala Lumpur will find staying in a serviced apartment in the KLCC area where the Petronas Towers are and nearby Jalan Ampang where many embassies are located or the general Bukit Bintang/Golden Triangle area where several malls and a number of restaurants or nightspots are to be the most convenient as these areas are pretty central and are accessible by the monorail or LRT train. However, be sure to find out what part of town most of your meetings or work will be in as Kuala Lumpur is fairly spread out, traffic can be bad (especially after it rains) and many companies are now located in suburbs which are hard to reach by the city's train or public transportation systems.

What to See. The Petronas Towers have become a symbol of Kuala Lumpur and a visit can easily squeezed in between meetings in the area. However and if you want to go to the bridge between the two towers, be aware that you may have to reserve tickets for a time later in the day if its super crowded. If you have more spare time on your business trip, a visit to the Islamic Arts Museum near historic Merdeka Square (where there are also a couple of other interesting museums) is well worth it plus the KL Bird Park in the city's Lake Gardens are also in the vicinity.

Eating Out / Nightspots. Kuala Lumpur is a foodie's dream as you will find plenty of restaurants serving Chinese, Indian, Malay, Middle Eastern or just about any cuisine. The Changkat Bukit Bintang street area in the heart of the Golden Triangle is lined with both restaurants and pubs popular with expats and locals alike that stay open late plus upscale malls like the Pavilion, Suria KLCC and super swanky Starhill Galleries have their share of restaurants and nightspots. The Damansara area where many expats and affluent locals live is also full of restaurants, nightspots and some MNC offices, but you will also need to take a cab to get there while the hip Bangsar area is a bit more accessible by public transportation and closer to central Kuala Lumpur. Finally and for a sky high view of the city, the SkyBar KL in the Traders Hotel overlooking the Petronas Towers is a great place to end a long business day over drinks while the Menara Kuala Lumpur (the tallest telecommunications tower in SE Asia) contains an observation deck plus a revolving restaurant with spectacular views at sunset.

Shopping and Souvenirs. There is no shortage of malls in central Kuala Lumpur with Suria KLCC, Pavilion, Starhill Galleries, Lot 10, Sungei Wang/BB Plaza (mostly kiosks and small stores), Low Yat Plaza (Malaysia's largest IT lifestyle mall) and Berjaya Times Square (one of the largest buildings in the world with an indoor rollercoaster) all being within walking distance of each other. If you want to splurge on gifts for the family or colleagues back home, Royal Selangor, the world's largest pewter maker, has a showroom in the Pavilion mall, but expect to pay a hefty price even for the smallest item. The Central Market and Petaling Street in Chinatown also offer plenty of local inspired gifts or tacky souvenirs and are easy to reach via taxi or monorail/LRT. Otherwise and if you are flying out of KLIA, you will have plenty of opportunities to buy gifts and souvenirs before you leave.

Some Final Tips. Its fairly easy to get around central Kuala Lumpur on foot (if you can take the heat or humidity) or by monorail/LRT; but if you need to go to meetings in sprawling Petaling Jaya or the Damansara areas, you will likely need a taxi and finding one willing to use a meter will be difficult. If you don't want the hassle of haggling over prices with cab drivers on the street, the Swift Limousine & Cab offers executive taxis who will always use a meter.
