Should be enough for anyone, and way less space than you would expect. Also, something on the languages for where you're going? And some docs for the work you'll be doing?

+1 for Wikipedia, not just for reading something but as a reference if you want to verify something as the old Encyclopedias we used to use. To just fill the hours, I would suggest some nice book, even better good series, like Foundation and Robot Series by Isaac Asimov, A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones) by George R.R. Martin etc.. With those I think those 5 weeks will fly..

There is a Wikipedia archive now that includes images: http://www.kiwix.org/wiki/Wikipedia_in_all_languages
