nice for india, useless in ecuador. i.e. a thing to squeeze juice out of oranges. to make fresh orange juice. you can buy it cheaply in india and it makes sense because often you get juice with too much sugar or water added – and as it is: you don’t know what kind of water it is. so for the paranoid and the gourmet: something to make own fresh orange juice is quite nice.
in ecuador it is useless because there you can buy perfect juice just about everywhere. the best juice in the world, according to me, is “tomatos del arbole” and i didn’t find it anywhere but in ecuador.

if digital camera is already in the backpack and you plan to use internet cafes, think about also adding a knoppix for emergency cases. you can use it to remove malware from memory cards if owners of those internet cafes are cooperative.

i’d wanted to have a knoppix once when i carried dirty files around on a cf card i bought for photos, not viruses.
