原来有个黑色的,82L, 对我来说实在太大,加上加上上次扶梯上飞落,吓得我魂飞魄散,于是送了人。打算买个小一点的63L, 但是拿不定主意到底是黑色还是红色呢?
想想几年后一个老女人提着鲜艳的箱子,是不是太招摇了呢 :(
请大家投票!

For students of business, the Eliot Spitzer scandal opens a window into issues of the prostitution business that aren't unlike those of a legitimate enterprise. Perhaps it is the stuff of a Harvard Business School case study.
When Spitzer was looking to purchase the services of Emperors Club's "Kristen" for an evening just before Valentine's Day, he had only a $400 credit on his Emperors account. Sticking to its guiding principle (no money, no action), Emperors kept the meeting on hold until Spitzer's payment arrived Feb. 13.
Not wanting to encounter payment issues next time around, Spitzer gave Kristen an extra $1,700 as a deposit toward a future transaction. (Her services that night went for $3,100).
Customers who paid cash got a discount. Two prostitutes for four hours came with a price tag of $3,600 for cash, but $4,140 on a credit card.
HIRING: Conversations the FBI captured from phone calls, e-mail and text messages showed some of Emperors' challenges. For example, two of the principals concluded that there was no point in advertising in Miami because of a tight supply of prostitutes.
In a different conversation, the two bemoaned that the Los Angeles market was sluggish because of too many girls, not enough demand.
HUMAN RESOURCES: Management had to retrain prostitutes who didn't take proper imprints on credit cards.
The company also faced typical challenges posed by working moms' schedules. In one conversation, management noted that a prostitute left her one-hour session after 40 minutes and supposed that she may have had to pick up her kids.
