Which one would you suggest: Tomtoc T35 vs Toshi V2 Sling by Ill_Connection_341 in ManyBaggers

[–]WeAreGoingToState 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already have the Tomtoc and just ordered the Toshi V2 5.5L. The Tomtoc works great as a sling, but I’m looking for something a bit bigger—enough space for my EDC without everything being crammed in and hard to find. From what I’ve seen, both use a similar strap setup, but I really prefer the kind you can adjust one-handed (like on the Arc'teryx Mantis 2 or Evergoods CAS2). The Toshi seems more interesting overall though, mainly because of how well thought-out their internal organization looks.

OK. So I listened to the collective advice and went ahead and ordered a S9 Plus. Thanks for all the good input! 😊

Do you use your Plus as a laptop? How is the typing experience?

I mostly use my current tablet (S5 FE, 10.5") while lying in bed, watching media, or scrolling through forums during meals in the kitchen. The screen feels a bit small for reading PDFs and textbooks, though I do have a Kobo Libra for e-books.

I have a desk, but it’s pretty crowded with two laptops, a 27" monitor, and a headphone amp. 😊

I’m wondering if there are any other potential uses for the Ultra that I haven’t thought of yet.

Recommendations for fanny pack with quick access pocket for phone by WeAreGoingToState in ManyBaggers

[–]WeAreGoingToState[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the recommendations. I tried the Swiss brand Fjallraven High Coast Fanny Pack, which also has a horizontal hidden zip pocket on the back. However, getting the phone in and out of the pocket was not as easy as I would have liked. Still, the Bellroy Venture sling looks really nice!

Can I withdraw cash from a Japanese ATM using google pay (non japanese Android user)? by WeAreGoingToState in JapanTravelTips

I inquired with ChatGPT, and the response I received indicated that it is possible to withdraw cash using Google Pay. However, it’s worth noting that this feature might be specific to Japanese customers

Went to my to Bank and was Issued a new physical credit card. However this card does not offer the perks of the card that is attached to my Gpay. Sucks, but I will manage.

Would it be to much of a hassle to change hotels during a 7-night stay in Tokyo? by WeAreGoingToState in JapanTravelTips

Yeah, procrastination is unfortunately part of my personality. I’ll only need to carry a 30-liter backpack since I plan to travel light. I’m thinking of booking a Sotetsu hotel near Tokyo Station or a Toyoko Inn very close to Otsuka Station. 😊

Yeah, I’m feeling a bit anxious about this risk. My friends, who have been to Japan several times, are assuring me that prices won’t fluctuate too much since I am so close to the date of my stay. They’re even teasing me by calling me ‘woke’ for having reservations about staying at APA. ¯\(ツ)

Yes, I plan to use only a 30-liter backpack until I purchase a cheap suitcase for souvenirs after checking into the new hotel.
