day 2 - check & double check

day 2

After embracing the few days I earned at home from the starting bump, and not wanting to take any more chances, I decided to re-check my one week already packed backpack.
After all, tomorrow that is going to be the last of the things I want going on my mind.

So I unpack all and started to review my inventory.
Rapidly realising that the words "get everything you think you need, and then throw way half of it" are so right. I reviewed my style vs comfort priority's, went on-line and did my own weather forecast to the winter to come as I pack up one last time.

It would be a lot more easier if I didn't went with the bride ideology on the day I bought my backpack.
What is the bride ideology? Buy several sizes smaller to force yourself to diet. So I bought a 70l backpack, which is already a huge backpack, but it doesn't fit all my things, oh well, I'm hoping to give myself a pat on the back during the trip for deciding to buy this backpack.

So what is on my backpack? well... you ask for it....

For the most expert backpackers, I'm taking a shopping mall with me, but this is going to be my new home, brother, friend and mother for the next months (at least I hope so).

Many of you maybe thinking how did I manage to get all of this in a backpack? don't know, but I'm anticipating a good amount of wrinkles on my cloths :)

here is a picture for the sceptic's:
