“Whenever you are examining someone else's belongings, you are bound to learn many interesting things about the person of which you were not previously aware.”

I think everybody can agree with Mr. Snicket in this. Should one had not thought about this, I dare them to take a look at their own bag and, if possible, compare its contents with someone else's. Another option is to take a look at my previous post "Face your pockets!", where people around the world have revealed the contents of their own bags for the whole world to see.
Today in my purse are, in example, a letter to Finland, my calendar, cosmetics, my wallet and passport, a mobile phone charger and a notebook. These are only a few things I am carrying along today, but what could you tell about me just from these items? That I have friends/family abroad and I travel? That I want to make sure I will always have something to write notes on? Or that my mobile phone has an unpredictable battery? Have you already formed a picture of my appearance, gestures in and voice/accent in your head? I am guessing you have.
