Our Backpacks are the worst.
Seriously.
They are incredibly heavy and awkward and cumbersome and make us sweaty and uncomfortable and we look like turtles. Also they are really heavy. Getting on the subway in Sendai today (rush hour at a busy Japanese subway station... bad call) Hannah's bag literally delayed the train because the doors kept closing on it.
But aside from that we are having a wicked time. Today we rode the bullet train (with a trio of hand-cuffed prisoners?) to Saporro and are staying at an awesome hostel and are really excited to check out the beer factory tomorrow!
But seriously, those backpacks are the devil.
