What size of a dictionary?

This applies to all of us nonenglish.
What size of a dictionary should one pack with oneself?
Especially for long term trip abroad.

Last time for two months I had only one very small.
And I could have used some more words...

You don't get any European Language - English -dictionaries from stores in India, do you?

If you have a 'flexible' budget, you could consider an electronic dictionary

Ok, that's what I've thought

But what do you do when you need words and concepts bigger than the pocket?

Call home?

Actually.. it's an excrypted message for dr. Gonzo. Don't try to open it or you might get attacked by gigantic bats and flashbacks of the 70's.
