-Waterproof clothing or jackets are always helpful to have with you when traveling. Because weather can often be unpredictable when traveling through Asia, especially during the rainy season, it is a good idea bring along clothing that dries easily. Travel umbrellas also come in very handy if you find yourself caught in an unexpected downpour.
