We Had No Idea That This Was the Way to Go

We would like to think that we were developmentally beyond the part where we put the tube of toothpaste into our tote bags, thinking, Oh, no, that'll totally not end up being a really, really bad idea. Like, come on. Honestly. We spent half the day licking all of our stuff, because tap water was too uncontrollable and tissues got too sticky. Argh.

Anyway, we're in the market for a new tote bag, and we're thinking we'll be able to deal with this in Vietnam, which is where we are now. This city is fucking crazy! They literally have these helpful guards to walk you across the street since there is apparently not so much of a functioning pedestrian crossing system going on.

That's tomorrow. In the meantime: We were telling our best friend that these Japanese girls—and she was all, "How did you know they were Japanese? Couldn't they have been Korean? Or Chinese?" And we were like, "Because they were holding their passports! Snap!" We did not say "snap," but we certainly did think it. Anyway, we saw three passport-holding Japanese girls at our hotel yesterday, each carrying an LL Bean bag. We had no idea. This is, in any case, a super-cute bag for not much money, even if we would without a doubt find some way to destroy it with a beauty or health product. LL Bean regimental stripe bag, $22
