I agree with Shirley - less is better !!!
I took too much clothes with me last time - next time I'll take very little (just a overnight bag) & buy whatever I need at the markets.
My suitcase was about 9kg on the way over & half of the clothes I left at the hotel - on the return it was 25+kg !!! you just can't help buying stuff over there.
Bring Aussie t-shirts with you ( you won't use them, but they make great gifts for the locals) - if you have enough for the first day or two, you will be fine as it is so much more fun to shop for things once you are there, & make sure you have plenty of room in your suitcase for the things you buy !!!!
