Hey all, I'm nearly at the end of my contract and I'm gonna be traveling around a bit in Asia, Europe and South America. I'm going through my shopping list to outfit myself, most of which I have already. All I need now is a cheap laptop for email, word processing and photo storage and a proper travelers backpack tough enough to last 3 months of solid travel. I'm trying to get as many deals as I can. Any recommendations here in the city of Busan to buy the backpack? Any particular brands or models you folks would recommend?

I can't remember the name off hand, but there is a humongous market area near the fish market. It is so big and famous it is listed on most city maps. Sorry I can't remember the name, but it is where I got my backpack from.

There's a camping gear store in one of Seomyeon's underground marts (the less crowded one) that's selling a Deuter (I think 50L Futura) for 153K krw. Relatively cheap. Seems authentic from my reckoning.

Still a bit too expensive for my blood tho.
