Wow, so much fun and stuff and delicious food. IÂ´d loved to be with you but Germany is too far away. But one day I will join you, watch out! *smile* Well with that stuffing of things into other bags at airports is something that sounds extremely familiar to me too. *sigh* I had a rucksack as big as myself full oÂ´stuff I bought in Japan and so was my suitcase. The same problem with my boyfriend and our other friend. We told the checkin-lady at Narita international airport in Tokyo, who said that their suitcases were too heavy and we would need to pay some 10.000 yen extra, that we will go and send stuff via the airport- postoffice. We actually went around the corner too, both guys transferred some of the heavier items from their suitcases into their bags and then we returned to checkin. Now the suitcases went through easily but both boys needed to pretend their bags are sooooo easy to carry and took them into 2 fingers with a big relaxed smile - only that both carried 20 kilogramms each. This was a hollywood- like scene, I can tell you. *g* Fortunately this was in Febuary 2001 and so they didnÂ´t sceen our bags nor did we have to drink our whole bottles of japanese peach lemonade at the airport or other nonsense.

Well done! I’m thinking that you must be related to Houdini the way things kept disappearing into that bag! A great time, I must say! Where to next?
