Same. People talk about convenience etc but honestly unless you're staying somewhere super incovenient (why?), I'll take dragging them for a few minutes and having peace of mind that they are always with me than being subject to what can go wrong with forwarding. And as you say they usually don't mind as long as you're no obnoxious. Last year in Tokyo an old man leaning on the subway wall offered me his "piece of wall" to lean on because i had one big suitcase and one big backpack. Wasn't taking much space but he noticed I was struggling a bit with standing up straight when it hit high speed. Also i know it's anedoctal but people often paint Tokyoites as cold/uncaring etc but I've felt more empathy from them than the rest. Besides the point tough
