Ker-bwong!

I closed my eyes in frustration. That was the sound of future embarassment as a traveler; the sound of moments of awkwardness. I prepared my mind for looking even more like a tourist.

I opened my eyes and stared down at the now-impaired partner of mine. I knew its next move. There was silence for a moment. Nothing happened. Then, slowly it quietly did what I knew it would.

Phhhhwump!

My luggage lay on its side on the ground, and its handle still in my hand. I stand it upright again, let go, take a step back and wait.

One; silence.
Two, it leans.
Three, phhhhhhwump!

At least its predictable. Oh, well. Onward and upward.
