I have brought too much stuff with me. Usual story. Along the way, I have met some people travelling light, with a bag the size of my daypack as their main luggage. Good on em, and I reckon I could do that next time.
And then there's Osuye. Osuye is a 20-year-old Japanese lad. He is also absolutely crackers. He's travelling SE Asia for 2 months, he is hugely excitable, and his luggage is a quarter of the size of what I used to take into the office every day. He left home in a pair of shorts, a t-shirt, trainers, presumably boxers, and a small bag containing his passport, wallet and camera. That's it. Now that is travelling light.
He upgraded to a slightly larger back when he got to Saigon, and now I have his original bag. I can't even fit my reading book in it.
