I see Chinese tourists doing this in Jpn. They buy hard case suitcases to stuff their puchases in, and you can get one for as little as ~$30USD over there. I wonder what they do with the luggage once they get home. You don't want to keep accumulating more and more bags, yet it seems a waste (not to mention environmentally unfriendly) to throw it away.
