Sure, you can travel with just passport and credit card as a minimum -
but if you're going somewhere that English is not the first language it
can be ... interesting ... trying to find things as simple as a
hairbrush - they don't always sell them in the kind of stores you expect
to find them in. One time I hunted every corner pharmacy/beauty store
in Nice, where they DID have shampoo, hair colour, hair clips, clasps,
pony tail holders, etc and NONE of them had a hairbrush or comb and
staff looked at me blankly when I asked - in English, French and Italian
(Nice/Nissa is in Piedmont and the local language is closer to Italian
than Parisian French) - or mimed brushing my hair. Eventually I found a
hairbrush in a big fashion department store, next to the make up.
