outside laundry service is frequently terrible. the detergent used is strong enough to take the nails off your fingers, and does not get rinsed well.

also, sleep in full night clothes, including socks, and carry a pillow case.

Large suitcases are much more difficult on the train. I travel comfortably to Europe for up to 3 weeks w/just a carry on, I've never had problems w/laundry service and/or insects.
