What do travelers look for in their travel bags?

What do travelers look for in their travel bags?
I am a student in Malaysia and i was assigned to create a marketing strategy plan. My product is a bag [any bag, but I'm thinking of travel bag] and the plan is to sell the product overseas. My choice of countries are France, Germany, UK, Poland, Sweden, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, South Korea, Japan and Australia. Which country do you think is the best to choose to sell the product and what do you think my travel bag should have for it to stand out from other travel bags?

When I buy a replacement travel bag I look for the following: Durability - Airlines apparently drag your luggage to the plane now, then run it over with the plane. At least that is the way it looks when it pops out of the baggage return caruosel. Organization - You live out of that bag while you are on a trip, having lots of storgage compartments that are easily accessible is a must. How about a series of zippable dividers in the main compartment to separate pants,shirts, dirty clothes etc... Visability - Nearly everyhone has a black rectangular roller pack these days. A lot of people have resorted to putting paint, tape etc, on the bags so they can see them on the carousel. Consider having a bold design emblem on the bag that really stands out. Or, better yet offer a line of replacable zip on/zip off front panels that people can buy to make their bag unique. (the large front bottom panel could be removed and replaced with a standardized panel that would be different colours, patterns, or even personalized designs)

Light weight, durable, and no wasted space on the inside (some bags have support structure that cut back on usable space inside). Preferably sized to allow carry-on, but for some trips checked bags are necessary. I'm not sure there's much you can do with a bag that someone hasn't already included in a design. A lot of people use tape, ribbons, or some other marking to make their bags more identifiable on the luggage carousels - you could do something with a see through pocket on the outside where some custom labeling could be placed to allow the bag to be identified. You would need something on both sides though.

well, you must have big heart and broaden mind to deal with different culture,thinking and customs.Good things are learning different views of point. Only one thing I've heard is about money. Western men (most of them) prefer to go dutch,and those guys are not rich either.Oriental men are willing to take financial responsibilities . Better think about carefully before get marry with them.

Unusual woman from Taiwan?

Unusual woman from Taiwan?
I do not believe in using the word normal, strange or any other such word. At the same time I want to ask this question. I meet a young woman from Taiwan last week. She is a medical student and really enjoys going to all kinds of parties in the weekends. When I say parties it might just be a gathering of people and it may not be were beer is being drunk. I believe this young woman loves making new friends and there is nothing wrong with that. From what I have seen she loves life. When she does something or meets someone for the first time she is very happy and shows it. She is 26 and full of life. Her parents didn't want to go to to Japan to study but she did anyway. From what I know about her men are very attracted to her and tend to get the wrong idea from her, just because she is friendly. I also think she may not know how to say No. Any thoughts or ideas, please. I want to know if this is usual to be this way for Taiwanese young ladies? I have meet other young women from Taiwan but I have never met a woman like this.

What's life like in Taiwan?


What's life like in Taiwan?
I am teaching a student who will be moving to Taiwan soon. I'm teaching basic life skills in English but I'm American and have never been to Taiwan. Do they write checks there (How do you pay bills?)? What kind of appliances does the average home have? When does school start and end (times of day and times of year)? What holidays are important there and when are they? If something costs 1.50, how would you say that in words (in the U.S. we would say "a dollar fifty")? What kind of public transportation is available? Do you have to separate trash? Do people understand and speak English? How about Japanese? What are some things you might find in a supermarket that would be different from what you would find in other countries? Which side of the road do you drive on? What kind of bank accounts do you have? Do you get paid by check or is it mostly direct deposit or cash? How often is payday? What are some typical dishes there? Can you bargain everywhere? Any and all answers appreciated! Yah, why don't I go to Taiwan and Singapore so that I can teach my students English for when THEY will live there....? Some people are realy geniuses. I have students going to several countries. I know about the U.S., U.K., Australia, and other English speaking places but not these two countries. It's not spam (what am I selling?). I wouldn't want to go to either of those places anyways. I doubt the students do either but their husbands are being transferred. This is yahoo answers not Yahoo "ask a question to answer a question". Leave an answer not a stupid remark.

I'm living in Taiwan, I'm a Taiwanese. Let me answer your question. Yes, we write checks here, but only for very big amount. We usually pay our bill by cash or credit card(bill in restaurant), and use ATM to transfer money to pay bills like electrical power. I think there's a thing every home have. Maybe television, if you still want an answer. People in Taiwan is living with TV. They watch TV programs after dinner everyday, and the weekends even pass in watching TV. The school usually starts on 7:30 to 5pm or 6pm every weekdays(Mon to Fri). A semester starts in September and end with January. Another semester is March to June. Most Junior & Senior High School also have more classes in vacation. The most important in Taiwan is: Chinese New Year, in Lunar year's last year Dec. 31th to New year Jan. 3rd. And The Dragon Boat Festival, in Lunar May 5th. Then is Moon Festival(the Mid-Autumn Festival) was on Lunar 15th, Aug. And the "Double Ten",the Country's Birthday, is on 10th, October.(Oct. is the tenth month in a year). Christmas, valentiner's day etc. is also famous. Money in Taiwan, the New Taiwan Dollar (NTD, NT$). Dollar is the smallest unit. Buses(all Cities) and MRT(subway, only in Taipei and Kaosiung now, other cities are building now). Somewhere may have Gondola(Cable Car, Sky Line)for sightseeing. Many people in big cities can use English, like peoples in Taipei, Kaosiung, Taoyuan. Chinese is available for 97% people. Japanese is only spared in elder people. Japanese is using between sightseeing guiding and serving professionals. Because there are many Japanese people com to visit Taiwan. You can find anything didn't export to other countries. Just kidding. I dont know, sorry. We drive RIGHT side on rode. Question about Payday and Bank I can't reply you, because I'm a junior high school student, I don't know these. Taiwan's typical dishes are "Stinky Tofu," and many Hakka style dishes. Mostly are Chinese food. Yes, you can bargain everywhere!(But except the place like big restaurants). You can bargain if you like! Taiwanese people are all professional to bargain! Please correct my grammar and word and send to my mailbox if you can, please. If you have more question about Taiwan, please ask me, I'll glad to answer you. I'm not come to Y! Answer frequently.
