What is the biggest backpack for high school I can use?

I need the biggest backpack I can get for high school. During middle school, I used the High Sierra Access backpack, which is around 2,700 cubic inches. It barely survived middle school and was filled to the brim nearly every day because of all the homework I had. Are there bigger and sturdier backpacks out there that I can use for high school?

What is the best kind of backpack for a long bicycle commute?

I ride my bike to and from work, and it’s about a 8 mile trip each way. I usually carry things in my school bookbag, but my back gets insanely sweaty. I’ve tried other bookbags, but they made my back hurt. Is there a cycling-friendly backpack that won’t make me sweaty and won’t hurt on long rides?

How much would it cost to backpack through these countries?

My friend and I are hoping to backpack in 2013 through Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and end in Burma. We’re hoping to do this for two months. We would mostly camp where possible and stay in cheap, small hotels. Roughly how much would this cost (without airfare or equipment cost)?

I know this is pretty vague and can vary, but an estimate would really help before we can start planning anything. Thanks!
