Funds were running low for me so I cancelled the estimated $200++ luggage from my shopping list. My cousin gave me his old luggage, the same one he dragged to Adelaide 3 years ago. The wheels were not working and I shudder to think about having to carry a 35kg luggage.

My dad took 2 Mondays to fix new wheels for me! Even though the person at the shop says that it is not possible to fix it, my dad did it for me. Initially he got 4 straight wheels fixed up. But the problem was the luggage was not able to turn sideways. Today, he took them out and fixed 'turnable wheels'. Walaa..its done! I think it is really difficult because all in all he took 10 hours to get it fixed.

The wheels are so smooth that I can push it and it can slide 72km. My dad says the wheels are strong enough to carry 60 barrels of water. If I managed to find gold bars in Australia, I would be able to load it in my luggage and drag it as easily as farting. Muahaha. My dad's a genius. Its really a demonstration of his fatherly love for me. I love my dad :)
