Well, that was unexpected...
May. 29th, 2007 10:20 pmHome from Leipzig. Tired but rather happy.
I've just binned my suitcase. Partly because the wheels had started squeaking in an intensely irritating way, partly because it was getting a bit battered... and mostly because the huge bag of chocolate covered coffee beans inside it had exploded, coating everything with sticky half-melted chocolate...
Sorry,
chimera_s, it looks like you won't get those beans. :-/
On the plus side, if that had happened on my way to WGT, it would have been really awkward. As it is, all of the chocolate-coated gothgear needed washing anyway. :)

The intention had been to protect them from shampoo/nail varnish remover explosion, etc.
The take-home lesson is you can't seal up stuff too tightly in your suitcase.
