Urban Minimalists

Our apartment has a pretty fantastic location. It's a 5-min walk from a small supermarket that has pretty much everything you'd need, and a 15-min walk from a couple 3-story hypermarkets (think: Super Walmart). We've needed a ton of household items these first few weeks, so we've made several hypermarket runs. Of course we could take a taxi. But why take a taxi when we can take backpacks? So we strap on our empty packs, shop around, and bring them back full... more than full actually, as you can see from the pictures. As you can imagine, a couple foreigners carrying fully-loaded backpacks down highly trafficed city streets tends to draw quite a bit of attention. But we figure we can always use the exercise... and the excuse to use our packs!
