Luggage drama

It took me far too long to decided on what suitcase to buy as I got confused and distracted by all the specs, reviews and questions I had to bare in mind, like 
1) How many wheels do I want?!
- What are the chances said wheels are going to fall off? Causing me to abandon my possessions
2) Hard case or soft case?
-Will it split if I overfill it, leaving my clothes sprawled across the runway?
3) What size?
4) (and most importantly) What colour?
- I what to look good whilst wheeling this bad boy around the airport in flustered panic!

If I am honest I didn't have a clue, whilst choosing I was pretending to myself that I was some sort of suitcase connoisseur... "ahh yes, it is very important that it is lightweight and durable, and it must be able to withstand winds of up to 80 mph", but in reality I was thinking "oooo it is purple!".
This, however, may have backfired as I now have two ridiculously huge suitcases (but in the colours I wanted).
Bruce: "are..are you leaving me? :("

As a result I have managed in a practice pack, to get all my clothes into a single suitcase with space left over! Leaving one bag for hair products, shoes and food :D

Good ol rainy London, the awesome Megin and the Visa application...

Had a little trip into London yesterday to visit the Japanese embassy to apply for my Visa, was a little stressful, the most frustrating part was finding out that I had provide my own envelope. But seeing as that was my biggest problem, I would say the whole process has been relatively painless so far...
Whilst in London I decided with the help of my trusty companion, Megin, to do a little window shopping for things far out of my budget, and to enjoy some of the sights that London has to offer
Megin looking fine as usual
Some very British themed protection





Found this in a Japanese themed shop called Muji, like those flannels you used to get that start very small and when you add water it turns into a normal size face towel. Well this was exactly the same, except it started as a tiny cube, and turned into a full sized dress...





Couple of signs down a
backstreet 




and a giant blue cockerel, 
symbolic of Britain?
