A travelling Bun needed a suitcase:
I had one that I got for free when I picked up some books off Craigslist one time [In case you haven’t noticed, a hobby of mine is trawling Craigslist for free books]:
It was just taking up space, so I traded it away. In return the guy bought me lunch at Vena’s Roti on Bloor near Lansdowne, one of my favorite roti joints in the city:
Oh! Makes my mouth water just looking at it.
Now, is a suitcase ‘worth’ more than lunch? Probably. But I wasn’t doing anything with the suitcase, and I had acquired it for nothing, and moreover I have multiple suitcases in storage.
Bon voyage! I like to imagine that the case got used for a drug-smuggling adventure to Peru or something like that.
