Sounds like your future travel plans are getting interesting :) will have a look through the list when I'm properly online and see if I can add/remove anything to/from it. Talk on Saturday!

so... been through it. This is pretty similar to what I brought to China myself (in a 40 litre bag - I didn't worry about things I was going to pick up along the way). Like you said a rain jacket is critical - I bring one even if I'm going to a warm country for those unexpected monsoon showers :) robably why I never bother with an umbrella...
The small bag is a problem. I have a little bike bag this trip (only about 6/7 litre storage capacity) but since I now have a separate camera bag, it's worked quite well.
and most definitely, I wish my current bag only had this amount of gear in it ;) The one thing I've thrown in a few times for novelty is some tiny trinkets/souvenirs from Ireland - a tradition we picked up in Israel for giving to locals - even just some postcards showing photos from home. It's an easy way to show where you're from and expand people's ideas of the world (as mentioned in your other blog post)
