myLot reputation of 98/100. secretbear (7252)   ranked 8 out of 5,016 in travel 5 years ago

i usually buy tee-shirts with prints about the places i visit. like the one i bought from a town that loves chilly food, it has the name of the town and the letters are made up of red peppers. and then, another one i bought from Baguio City with prints of the rice terraces and other popular spots.

and then i also buy a lot of accessories and stuffs native to that place. but the most special i got, are the shells and sands i brought home from a beautiful beach we visited when i was in college. i got a lot of shells and a bottle of white sands. i had troubles bringing it home since they were heavy. ^__^;;

what about you?

Sea shells are nice. I still have a little sand and some shells and pretty polished rocks from here and there, but lately we've mostly been buying small stuffed animals. We particularly like the ones that sing and dance or say funny things. Since we travel quite a bit, we are starting to get quite a collection. Pretty soon we might have to buy them their own little apartment house, because they are starting to crowd our space a bit.

wow! that's a cute collection you got there! i love stuffed toys too but there arent any that are native to places that i've been too. ^__^
the shells i've collected came from the beaches i went too. when we are not swimming we are just walking along the beach and look for nice shells and dead corals that we can put in an aquarium. ^__^

I like tee shirts too. I usually collect post cards and key chains from every place I go too. My brother likes to get shot glasses from every place he visits. I also have a little collection of coconut monkeys from three places so far. I also like to keep money as a souvenir.


myLot reputation of 98/100. secretbear (7252)   ranked 8 out of 5,016 in travel  5 years ago

i collect key chains too! usually those printed with the names of the places i visit. i have never gone out of the country so the money are pretty much the same where i went. LOL
what are coconut monkeys?? ^__^

It depends on the place. When I went to New Orleans, I got a magnet with a streetcar on it. But when I went to Chinatown in San Francisco, I got a little doll.I also have some sand from the beach and some shells.And when I went to Montreal, I got a small Quebec flag.It all depends on the place.


myLot reputation of 98/100. secretbear (7252)   ranked 8 out of 5,016 in travel  5 years ago

i think i know what you mean. you buy stuff that are native to that place. like the ones that can only be found there. right? ^__^


myLot reputation of 97/100. sarahruthbeth22 (15807)  5 years ago

Yes. Most places I go have a special treat that I have when you go.Like I love going to Philadelphia for a cheesesteak.


myLot reputation of 98/100. secretbear (7252)   ranked 8 out of 5,016 in travel  5 years ago

yeah. that's called native delicacies right? ^__^ here in our town, people go here just to buy "buko pie". ^__^


myLot reputation of 97/100. sarahruthbeth22 (15807)  5 years ago

What is a Buko pie?

I also bought t-shirts and keychains. That is what i always buy. I also buy sweets, or any candies from that place. When we visited Batangas before i buy some coffee and some delicacies. I got to know what is the famous food from that city and i usually buy it and some souvenirs with the name of the city on it.

T-shirts. Other times it little things here and there but nothing too crazy. Like I have a bahamas photo, its nothing much but its some little decal I stick to the fridge. Other times its seashells from the beach or other things to expand my collections.


myLot reputation of 98/100. secretbear (7252)   ranked 8 out of 5,016 in travel  5 years ago

i guess you've got a lot of collection theprogamer? ^__^
sometimes when i see a local stuff from the place i visit, and when i see an anime stuff at the same time, i buy the anime stuff instead. LOL

I love travelling and when ever I go to a new place,I try to buy items that are native to that place and which I can keep as souvenirs for myself and also give to my family and friends....I also try to buy items which are cheaply available in a particular place.
Yes,I too love the sea and the beaches, and when I visited the river Ganges, which is considered a holy river,I brought back a bottle of water from the river as souvenir!!!!


myLot reputation of 98/100. secretbear (7252)   ranked 8 out of 5,016 in travel  5 years ago

I tend to go crazy in souvenir shops I love them but I remember when I went to New Zealand I decided to buy a sticker from each town I stayed in and stick it on my suitcase, I got back and showed by beautiful sticker covered suitcase off, I looked like a world traveller, then when I went back to work someone broke into my flat and took my suitcase filled with all my precious things.... oh well I still have my memories.


myLot reputation of 98/100. secretbear (7252)   ranked 8 out of 5,016 in travel  5 years ago
