One of the things I bought last month before I left was a laptop backpack from Costco.
The bag itself does double duty as a weekend case for my clothes and last night I crossed the border at Otay because I missed the last MTS bus in San Diego headed toward the Iris Avenue Trolley Stop and decided, "What the hell."
A woman noticed the bag and how well I could handle it on my back. I thanked her and then asked for advice on how to get to Centro once I entered Tijuana without spending an arm and a leg. She gave me an earful on how expensive the cabs right at the border are and then the low down on how to get the bus (which I did.)
But I do find it interesting that the laptop bag was the conversation starter.
