There are some Westerners out there who are judgemental or insecure about that kind of stuff but to be honest, don't worry about them. Do you really wanna be friends with someone who looks down on you just for having designer bags and shoes?

On the other hand, if you bring your favorite items, who knows, they could end up becoming some kind of conversation starter and you might make some friends with the same interests or tastes. If you want to make good, quality friends, don't hide who you are and what you like, or else you'll end up with those kind of faceless or judgemental people as your "friends."Quote:
