The darker blue (left) bag belongs to me - I got it from a few years ago; used it a couple of times including a kayaking trip to Abel Tasman with Pok Kern. Yih Jia bought hers 2 weeks ago - we had fun trying out a few bags (or travel packs...as they are officially called) and finally with the help of a Kathmandu staff, we bought the smaller sized one. There are a lot of differences in these bags and YJ actually found a couple of others a bit uncomfortable to use...One was too big for her - the top of the backpack was way above her head...hehe. No pictures of that though...
Check out the goodies I bought from KL during Chinese New Year. A Korjo neck pillow for the 24 hour flight from NZ to London, Yale lock (still the "low chiew pai" ie branded, for those of you who can't speak Cantonese), an international plug converter and the money pouch (which is actually on loan from Edwin, my brother-in-law - thanks man!!).
Btw, does anyone know whether we can access the money from the pouch without looking like we are stripping??
The great thing is that I found all these stuff from a hardware store in Midvalley Shopping Mall....all for a fairly cheap price. It will be much more expensive here in Auckland.
What??!!! Rain Poncho??? Will really come in handy - have to be prepared. My wifey's idea and I think it is a damn good idea!!
We haven't tried the micro-fibre towel yet - it is supposed to dry really quickly. Which will be handy when we move from city to another city....Hey, I recalled hanging wet towels in the car headrest of the front passenger side....
I will write more about the towel once we have tried it. Maybe even time it!!! :-)
And a final picture for this blog posting.....
Yup!! That's my wonderful wifey posing for me...Little does she know that I will be posting this picutre. She is "shy" when it comes to posting her pictures on blogs....but I thought I could not resist it, especially with such a pretty picture of her!!
See you the next time!
Hi bro
ReplyDeleteat last managed to see where the comment button is! haha..i was wondering where it was.
nice pictures and comments. i think you have a flair for writing blogs as well - it runs in the family! haha!!!
as for stripping - well, i guess you would need to go to the toilet to take out the $$. i think you are supposed to pre-plan the money you would need for the day and then hide the rest in the you-know-what.
i will go to the diy to look for rain-coat as well. thought will get one for ben just for fun and if it rains without the thunder and lightning, then we will go out for a walk. that means i need to get one too.
i love the microfibre towel too. you try it and then tell me whether work or not ok! you got that from the same DIY shop? i will not mind to try it as my towel difficult to dry, yes, you read that right. somehow i think it is pretty humid around here, sometimes our towel difficult to dry and after a few times, it becomes black because of the mold!
and love the pict of YJ! she looks so excited for the europe trip, eh! hehe! Post one of the both of you lar!
Totally agree- he's getting good at blogging =) We bought the microfibre towel from a kathmandu sale in auck - 50% off and we thought might be good if it does work!
ReplyDeletehahaha that photo was taken after a long day at work ;) but we are super excited bot the trip!!!
