• rucksack, bumbag.

  yes, so, i've been running around town shopping for stuff for my morocco trip. mainly, the need was a backpack, or as people call them here, rucksack. (and never say fanny pack here, it's bum bag. apparently, fanny is a vulgar term for the vah-jay-jay.) today, i found the best pack ever, or at least the best pack for the time being:
  
  

  
  
  i kinda look like a rucksack model, don't i? not to say i look like a model like i could be on the cover of vogue, but the stances in these pictures. they are just classic. so, let me introduce you to the karrimor, hot earth rucksack. the sack holds 40 liters, which should be plenty of space for me to be able to fit my belongings for an extended weekend. people in the ether reviewing the sack say that it was: tested with mountaineers, climbers, explorers and high
  adrenaline action sport athletes. very good and handy backpack for
  those more enduring activities. and now, i own the same darn bag. amazing. i think it's out of my league.

  so, 4.5 days worth of stuff is to fit in that backpack. this should be interesting - me, pack light? just one pair of pants for the entire trip? oh yes, and its 70 something degrees there. scratch tank tops and other summer clothes though. as an islamic country, i'm going to try to be respectful and cover up. jeans. long sleeve shirts. i'm not looking forward to that aspect. yes, this should be an interesting trip.
