carry on luggage is not immune to complaints. hahha..

i usually travel with a small pack that fits in overhead compartments. but this time, nope. Japan was cold, Taiwan was hot and humid, and i packed running clothes. things filled up in a hurry.

plus i fully expect to buy stuff to bring back. i brought back huge sacks of dried ingredients. scallops, mushrooms, etc. not to mention fishing gear.

unexpectedly, my inlaws gifted us a huge silk comforter...wtf? that thing was not so compressable. it got out of hand on the way home. geesh.
