When we have more time, I'll acquaint you with the various processes of sculptoring. It's a fascinating art to which I devoted many hours of study.
Someone recommend me a day pack that doesn't take up any space in my backpack and can hold a nikon d3100 dslr+bottle of water+guide book. I have the Osprey Talon 33, and I'd like a day pack for walking around. The alternative is emptying the backpack every time I get somewhere, and use it for a day pack, but I think it might be a bit too large for that.



This is the Osprey

Also that's a hiking pack and hiking packs are a pain in the rear end but whatever, you already bought it.

I don't use daypacks. When I was first traveling I thought one would be a necessity, but now I just look at it as "I don't need a purse at home so I probably don't need one when I'm traveling either." The pages of the guidebook I need get torn out and put into my wallet, I buy water as needed or just be thirsty until later, and if I'm bringing more than my point and shoot (or the camera on my phone) I just throw it into a doubled plastic sack from 7-11 or wherever and carry it that way. If you do want a day pack I'd suggest just getting something appropriate locally.

It was a gift, actually. But I've used it before, and I'm quite happy with it. Why do you think it's a pain in the rear end?

I guess I'll have a look around when I land, and see if there's something useful, or just go without.
