Luggage Guidelines Due to limited housing space and transportation logistics only bring one check-in bag and one carry-on of personal

belongings per person. A second check-on bag is permitted for donations or team supplies. If the team is bringing quite a few extra bags let

us know so we can plan transportation. We strongly recommend packing passports, money, personal toiletries, and a change of clothes in

your carry-on bag.

What Not to Pack low cut jeans — shirts exposing the midriff — pants with holes — tank tops or spaghetti straps (sleeveless tops are ok,

shoulders must be covered) — low cut necklines — tight fitting clothing — Lycra shorts or yoga pants — short skirts or dresses (they must be

knee length or longer and worn with a slip). Shorts need to be knee length, this includes the sports sites. Pajamas are not appropriate outside

dorm/host family.

Piercings No piercing other than earrings on women. Facial jewelry such as nose rings, eyebrow rings, etc., is not appropriate.

Do not Bring iPods, MP3 players, blow dryers or other hair appliances, jewelry, unnecessary credit cards, cash, or important documents. Due

to the cost of electricity we ask that you not bring blow dryers or other hair appliances.
