The Thoughtful Traveler - Joshua Journeys

Wardrobe

Every travelin' man -- or woman -- or bear --
needs the right wardrobe. A Swiss friend of
mine once told me that he "always packs jeans
and a 'smoking' [dinner jacket]," so he's always ready for anything. I try to pack light; no more
than I can carry myself. I favor my blue cords
and a knapsack to keep my paws free for waving.
Once in a while I get carried away (well, I'm ALWAYS being carried somewhere), and get
duded out in some native dress or costume.
Here's a peek into the luggage.

	On my last trip to Hong Kong I went to one of my favorites stores -- Chinese Arts and Crafts. They were having a sale on fancy silk jackets, so I thought I would dress up like an ancient Madarin. Here I am up in one HK's skyscrapers.
OK, not a native dress, unless you are a "skellington" as my friend Mort calls it. This is my most recent Halloween costume. I like to go Trick or Treating, but that candy corn headache the next day is wicked!
	This is my usual traveling outfit -- my trusty blue corduroy overalls. This was taken in Wales, so I was still testing out the plaid bowtie I got in London the week before.
do you think I should buy this disguise?
