backpack less backpacker

in cairo now, crazy, busy, lively, city.

heres a travel trick for traveling light. give your bag to ethiopian airlines. thats a bit harsh. truth is they only loose about 4000 bags a year, a worker told me.

i am in egypt, with my tiny bag, and a packing list as follows.
2- shirts
1-trouser
2-underwear
1-fleece jacket
1-toothbrush
1-toothpaste
1-notebook

thinking about adding another shirt. not sure yet.

random note- a sign in ethiopian airlines office advertising for travel to america shows a picture of the statue of liberty and the caption reads "it will make you want to run for president". i am not sure what "it" is but you can fill it in.

truth is it works pretty well, except i wash a bit more often.
