I had this thing lying around for many years but somehow I never figured out what you can do with it. https://i.imgur.com/aG2Jwah.jpg not the best photo, sorry but it shows the wonderful mess I created. My previous attempts soured because I tried to be tidy. Not now. Also this is in the tech section because the focus is on the pile of tech I have here

All USB C cords are AmazonBasics 2.0 cords. I don't need high speed data (via USB C), I just need thin cables. I am going to write left to right, top to bottom.

1. Elecom WRH-583BK2-S. Dual band, dual port travel router, 2.6 x 1.4 x 0.8 inches. 6ft USB C cable wrapped around it.
2. Black on black... barely visible is the UK head of the Mu One.
3. A stack of an AAA battery, a flat long Ethernet cord and a 6ft USB C to micro USB cable.
4. That was the top row, next is a 3ft USB C cable bundle kind of standing on its edge.
5. Here we have a 3AC power strip from Japan. The folding plug is very useful as its visible here. It covers the Olight UC Universal Magnetic USB Charger completely but I swear it's there
6. A stack of 6ft USB C cable, a short flat Ethernet cable and another AAA battery and the EU head of the Mu One slapped on top.
7. One half of the Road Warrior RW75 universal plug converter with a 3ft cord on top. Today I'd recommend the RW101 instead, it's available on Amazon but I had this one for a long while and it's only problematic in the UK where I am barely any more.
8. This row starts with the Mu One itself with the US head on.
9. Next is the new Xiaomi Zhibai Electric Razor (my review)
10. 30W USB C charger shipped with the OMY2S. Will be replaced by the
    Aukey PA-D2
    Aukey PA-D2
11. USB A female to USB C male, micro USB B female to USB C male hiding under the straps with just the USB C plugs peeking out.
12. Next we have the other half of the RW75 plug converter.

The Japanese items were ordered from Amazon Japan via Zenmarket. Power strip, router. The router is available on eBay as well.

Here are the devices not on this photo I need to charge:

1. ThinkPad Anniversary Edition 25, 14" laptop (20V C)
2. Phone (5V C)
3. Glocalme U2 International wifi hotspot (micro B female)
4. eReader (micro A female, soon to be C w/ Dasung not-eReader)
5. Oral B Electronic Toothbrush charger (micro B female)
6. Aroo vacuum bar (micro B female)
7. One Mix Yoga 2S 7" laptop (12V 2.5A USB C this can be tricky, 12V is optional, but both the Mu One and the Aukey supports it)

The AAA batteries are for the Bose QC headphones. Absolutely vital on planes.

For this trip, I will have a Xiaomi five USB A, one USB C charger with me which I will leave at my brother's. Next trip I will have the Maru from Kickstarter and I won't need the RW75 any more. From that point on I will have five USB C ports and two USB A ports altogether -- Maru has two USB C and two USB A, third is the Mu One and the Aukey PA-D2 has two. Several people already got their Maru / Masa but I didn't yet (bundles didn't ship yet apparently). The Dasung not-eReader ships this month finally, hopefully, I am not worried, Dasung has a long great track record, it's just unfortunate it misses this trip. I will need to find and pack a micro HDMI to micro HDMI cable between the OMY2S and the not-eReader.
