With my rucksack on my ....

Sooz was telling me the other day that the literal meaning of "ruck" as in sack - is "back". It's German. I'm not sure who invented it - but I do know that the first time I saw a "front pack" - a backpack worn to the front - was when I did it in Hong Kong in 1997. It took a while to reach some popularity but I see at least one a day now - especially in the city. (And who said I wasn't creative!)
