i have a kidney!

you know what's a kidney? no, i don't mean the one floating in your chicken soup... i mean the leather bag shaped like a giant kidney with a few pockets, hanging around your waist, out of fashion 10 years ago?... that one! it's a quite practical thingy to keep all sorts of junk you need on the long trip, or even a bold expedition containing 4 total idiotas - such as this one, matter of fact
so, mine has been continously changing it's content since the day one, and in some way doing the coverup report of the most necessary things you need for a particular area you're visiting... at first, i had it full of flight plans, used subway tickets, maps of buenos ayres areas and a dreadful 2-pesos tobacco... then it started swimming in microphone and recorder cables, bus tickets, a much better tobacco (domingo - vanilla taste), and the best bic lighter (green) you can find on the street... unfortunatelly, it's also the one that grows legs very fast, and on these trips you learn that small personal properties of similar kind become public, so the other bic (small red) has walked into my kidney, so all is well again... now my kidney doesn't have much to offer - passport, cash and a small booklet to write all this junk are the usual tennants, and that's what it's for, to keep the most precious stuff you have, on you all the time, stuff that has brought you to a country, and stuff that'll get you out of it one day, eventually
