Back to Brisbane - and the hero of the journey

I got back last night from my travel to new (for me) parts of Japan (and an overnight stop in Taipei on the way back).

I will make a stupid triva post first.   

A few trips back, while in Singapore, I decided to do something other than putting dirty washing in flimsy plastic garbage bags and went to a cheap "dollar store" type place (in Katong) and bought this:

 

It folds flat when empty, has a zip at the top, stands up neatly in the corner when you start putting dirty clothes in it, and conveniently hides the contents from the hotel room cleaner or when you are walking to the laundry/laundromat.  (If its a laundry service, they are happy to put the clean clothes back into it.)

It cost, I think, $5, and it just stays in my main suitcase between trips, so it's never forgotten.

My wife thinks it's vaguely ridiculous that I am so greatly impressed by the improvement it has made to travelling, but I strongly recommend everyone acquire one.

I am happy to be sponsored on a Singapore trip to buy them for readers who take my advise and acquire this particular design of bag.  Please send me your interest...:)
