I use them when I have to carry a lot. I've got one with a waist elf which really helps.

Where can | buy a waist elf that will help with my loads? Are they allowed through customs, and do they eat much? |
I would wait until after Christmas. You will not find any of them around the festive month of December. Best to wait until January and they should be less busy. I have no idea about your other questions...  |

Suitcase and backpack for moving, backpack for travelling.
Never again will I haul a big ass suitcase all around Thailand or wherever, hitting every little hole in the poorly paved streets. I really don't care if they think I'm some drug addicted loser from Belgium.
In your situation I might stick with a backpack. The main reason for a large suitcase, for me, is to carry food items that are cheap back home but expensive or unavailable here. If you don't have any idea where you're going than that kind of planning is hard to do. Without those items I can easily fit everything I need in a large backpack. Get one that's as light as possible and has something that will protect your shit from massive downpours (a cover or water-proofing). |

Dear Sasha,
Why yes - complements such as "My, he is handsome." and "He looks stunning." 
Compliments that are complements.
Regards,
John |

Dear Respected Johnslat
The Party has decreed that you are henceforth to report to auto-correct classes at the nearest re-education camp. Immediately after, you are to report to a de-equivocationalist re-training camp.
These measures will ensure that you speak in the language of utmost clarity .
With Communist greetings!
Sasha |

Nice to see the Party faithful promoting the humble hyphen, Sasha.  |

| We in the Comintern and Politburo prefer the use of abreviations and neologisms in our agitprop. |

Whatever luggage you choose, just pack lightly.
With the state of a lot of TEFL jobs it's a good idea to be able to pack all your belongings up in half an hour and be out of there like Roadrunner.

This is the Soviet spelling. You clearly have not been issued with the updated issue of Newspeak... |

| Gary, the Victory Gin tends to impair Sasha's spelling, whereas a glass or two of Moloko makes him ultraviolent. |

You mean ultra-violent. Mustn't forget that Trotskyite hyphen. |
