PART 1
BAGS
ANSWERS

What types of bags do you like?
(Answer 1)
I’m more into using backpacks and sling bags. I actually enjoy traveling so most of the time, I carry a rucksack (a type of backpack that is commonly used by hikers) rather than a suitcase because, in my opinion, it’s more comfortable and handy (convenient to handle; useful). Also, I use a sling bag when I go to work.
(Answer 2)
Well, anything that is made of original leather. I like those kinds of bags because they’re indisputably (in a way that cannot be challenged) durable (long-lasting) although they’re expensive. I have two backpacks from Louis Vuitton; one cross-body bag (sling bag), and a duffel bag (gym bag). They’re all made of leather and I couldn’t be happier (to be very happy) using them since they’re still in very good condition despite the fact that I have had them for more than ten years now.
What do you put in your bag?
(Answer 1)
I do have personal items in my bag such as my wallet, pens, make-up kit, hand sanitizers, wet wipes, smartphone, and even a bottle of water because I need to hydrate myself always. Who doesn’t bring a bottle of water in their bag? (rhetorical question – it doesn’t need an answer, it is used to create a dramatic effect in speaking) That’s a must!
(Answer 2)
There’s nothing special in my bag. I think it’s the same as what most people put in their bags such as a wallet, a hand sanitizer, a phone, and an umbrella. But I think the most important thing of all these things I mentioned is my phone. I make sure (check; confirm) not to forget my phone to keep it in my bag because I use it most of the time when paying for something in a shop.
Do you usually carry a bag when you go out?
(Answer 1)
It’s not just usually but always. I always carry a bag with me. This may sound like an exaggeration (overstatement) but I can’t live without (find something extremely useful) carrying a bag when I go out. It has become an extension of myself (Laughing)! Well, there’s even a time that I intentionally didn’t carry one when I went to the supermarket and just brought with me my wallet. It’s crazy that I felt so uneasy (anxious) and I couldn’t focus on grocery shopping.
(Answer 2)
Well, only when I take with me some important documents or when I travel somewhere. Of course, if I travel I have to pack my clothes in a bag. But if I just go to a supermarket or perhaps go for a walk in a short distance, I don’t feel the need to carry a bag at all (in any way).
What factors do you consider when buying a bag?
(Answer 1)
Honestly, as I’m not rich, the very first thing that I consider is the price. I make sure that I can really afford to buy the bag that I set eyes on (to see something for the very first time). Then, once I know the price, I check the material and its quality and if everything meets my standard, I get the bag without hesitation.
(Answer 2)
Without a doubt (undoubtedly), the quality and the design! I’m actually a meticulous (very careful and precise) buyer when it comes to bags because I don’t often buy bags. If I buy one, I do my best to pick what I think is the best so I won’t have regrets later. Recently, I bought a Fjall Raven rucksack. It’s incredibly (extremely) expensive but the quality is topnotch (excellent) and the design really fits my style.
