If so, I would stock up on korean food in Korea. Like soup bases, canned banchan, jippo, ohjinguh, miyuk, gochugahru, etc. I would miss korean food a lot I think. </p> <p>Probably things like shoes, bathing suits, sunscreen, bug spray, mosquito netting, mosquito deleter (thing works!), maybe cosmetics / skin care that will be hard to get in the coming year, toiletries, big bath towels! (so hard to find in asia), instant coffee, swiss army knife, neosporin, pain relievers (for adults and kids), art supplies, lots of lotion, batteries!, prepaid calling cards</p> <p>Don't forget to forward your mailing address to a good friend who you trust so if you do buy apps or anything else, online, you have a billing zip code! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-moving-to-a-remote-island#post-2281289 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 08:59:14 +0000 DillonLion 2281289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dry shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste, brush, extra contacts, breath mints, lots of underwear, bottled water, notebook(s), pens.</p> <p>ETA: UTI medicine </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-moving-to-a-remote-island#post-2281222 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 08:34:58 +0000 LovelyPlum 2281222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catlady: Nutella is a good choice. Or cookie butter. Mmm.</p> <p>@Mrs. Bee: I'm changing my answer: I would bring my fish spatula! It makes all the difference in the world to me to have a reliable tool when I cook! I use it on everything. </p> [attach=3423/15/nu3sea.448x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-moving-to-a-remote-island#post-2281185 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 08:04:29 +0000 Astro Bee 2281185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Scuba gear and a compressor for the air.

The remote island would, of course, have the most beautiful reef! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-moving-to-a-remote-island#post-2281184 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 08:01:04 +0000 LuLu Mom 2281184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>TJ's Sweet Chili Sauce &amp; salad dressing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-were-moving-to-a-remote-island#post-2281181 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 07:59:11 +0000 catlady 2281181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kindle with about a million books pre-loaded (assuming it can be re-charged).

Weird, I know... But they were the two things I was dying for when I lived in Uganda.</p> <p>I got a shipment of PEeps at Easter and I melted them down to make rice crispy treats.

Many people suggested peanut butter, but I'm not really a big peanut butter fan. So the one thing I'm taking is tabasco sauce! I use it on everything.</p> <p>What would your one thing be (doesn't have to be food!)? </p>
