I have heard people talking about these laundry tabs.....does anyone know where to buy them? I would imagine that laundry is a huge pain in the ass to do while traveling and these sound like they might be pretty cool???

Well, don't buy them here and drag them to wherever you're going. Just get detergent when you get there. Or bring one or two but don't bother hauling around more than that. (I like using foreign stuff, it's all part of the adventure for me and the cost is pretty much the same anyway. )

Basically, they're solid tabs in separate packages. They're sold right next to regular detergent and they're considerably more pricey.

I saw 'em at almost every grocery store and laundromat in Europe, and I know they have them in Japan and Korea, so if you're going to any of those places, I'm sure you'll have no trouble finding them

Ya I was just thinking about bringing a couple...they won't take up too much space and could help me out if I found myself without some at some point. I have looked in a few of the stores around town and haven't seen them. Is there a certain name brand I should be looking for?

Screw it I should just use those dishwasher tabs....j/k.
