Muchas gracias my mamasan bag

My last mamasan bag or what hubby always call it “Alibaba bag” life expectancy has finally come to an end 😭 

The senior crew would always introduce the newbies this personalized mamasan bag in Itaewon. I bought a medium and large bag. I was always so proud to say that my mamasan bag lasted me more than che-che’s age. Had it in mt first year of flying. Wow! That’s 29 lasting years!! 
My medium size bag frayed so much that I had to discard it last year. Both bags have served me well as a backup extra check-in bag; as a bag to carry our laundry to the laundromat; as a bag to carry groceries from supermarket trips overseas. 

When I was in Seoul last September I had wanted to drop by the shop but lil’ one didn’t want to make the trip to Itaewon 😟. Made a check with ex-crew in the FB group and was directed to Jenny (yah! Name sounds familiar now) - Seoul Yongsan-Hu Itaewon-dong 34-102 (Itaewon station exit 4) - IG under kukilsa_itaewon. So thankful for their replies. 

This time round, I did mend a small part of the bag when che-che noted a small slit in the hotel after we did the packing. All her heavy snacks lor!! Thankfully it didn’t burst open in Japan or enroute back to SIN. It finally gave way when hubby brought the bag of heavy bedsheets and laundry to the 24hr laundromat today 😭


Time to bade this goodbye. Time to let go of this small memory. 
Thank you !
