Wearing the Hiding Places, Part 2


The scariest part of international adoption, in my opinion, is the arriving at a foreign country with 10 grand in crisp one hundred dollar bills. On top of that, you have the original paperwork of your dossier with you. So in essence, your entire life and life savings is on your person.

Naturally, one would be a tad bit nervous walking around in a foreign country with such things - especially if said country was not known for being crime-free.

Lo and behold, Ms. Tsukioka came up with another clever design - a purse that looks like a manhole cover.

So if you're ever being pursued by a band of thieves or gang of hooligans while carrying your life savings and dossier in your purse, just throw your purse on the street and the bad boys will be none the wiser.

Don't you think customs might become curious about your motives if you show up dressed as a vending machine with a baby sling and a man-hole for a purse?? That might make the criminals wary.

I don't need a man-hole purse. My current one is so heavy I can knock a thug senseless by swinging it at his head.

That said, I do appreciate your travel-safe tips.
