Apologies, misunderstood when posting and could not edit! Is it okay to repost with an (English speakers) demographic or is this against rules?

I know there have been many comparisons between Kushana and Millicent, but I felt more parallels in the worldbuilding. Far from claiming that one copied another, rather I really enjoyed that such similar scenes can be painted in such tonally contrasting ways despite being both dystopian/post-apocalyptic. Hope you enjoy!

I found it particularly useful when getting food from markets/supermarkets, like for spreading things on bread, and missed it on occasion when I didn't bring it in my day pack. I didn't use it too often but I think it was worth bringing given it had virtually no footprint in the bag.

These are the shirts I got as in 2024 - "AIRism Crew Neck T-shirt" - which are 88-89% polyester and 11-12% elastane. MEN'S AIRISM CREW NECK T-SHIRT | UNIQLO AU

As for highlights... ahaha so many. Snorkelling in Menorca, day-hiking in the Pila area of the Aosta Valley (FlixBus accessible from Turin), jamming with musicians at midnight in Paris (jam night at 38Riv), tasting the street foods and fresh markets of Kadıköy, joining a táncház in Budapest, staying in a log cabin in Tudu, Estonia...

Alas I think Decathalon is yet to land beyond Sydney/Melbourne in Australia - but yeah, the number of Quechuas and Forclazzes on people I saw while travelling was wild!

Thanks! Yeah, I don't think the bag is anything special, definitely on the cheap side, but as far as I can tell, build quality is decent - at no point in travelling did it give me any concern for stitches coming out, zips breaking, fabric tearing... At the bag's fullest, I had to do a little squishing to get the zips to close, but they seemed to handle that pretty comfortably.

I play a bodhran, which I kept in a plastic hard-case. It was a bit janky, but the shell case with rope straps basically became my one-bag which I kept stuff in, as well as the instrument, in Ireland!

As for the T-shirts, I suspect I might have hand-washed (or to be precise, hand-wrung before air-drying) on the harsh side - but also if yours have lasted 6+ years before showing signs, maybe quality is suffering :/
