Do you have a big collection of it?

Soft toy camels, stone or wood carved camels, keyring camels and the list goes on - I try to grab one in each country. | I also collect frog souvenirs too.

I keep them even after they are too small for my daugher for the memories, and if I ever have grandchildren I can dress them up in those clothes because it will remind me of when my daugher was their age.

I know, I know... its getting to the point of a 'look where I' ve been shrine' but I've come to revel in the search for the little guys. Just recently, I was wandering the back alleys of Beijing looking for something that would qualify- it took me to places I would've otherwise passed right on by. I came up empty handed, so I guess I'll have to go back !!! | [Edited: 08:50 - joncasssouthkorea ]  Jody and Chazs Travels chaz and jody Post Count: 14 Msg: #5 30 weeks ago, May 20th 2009 | I collect magnets from all the places i go and Chaz collects keyrings, we haven't got a clue why!lol,just shows where weve been when people look at are fridge or keys!lol. | Jody.  halefg Halef Gunawan Post Count: 38 Msg: #6 30 weeks ago, May 21st 2009 | My travel buddy Ryan collects oil paintings, depicting the essence of places the paintings came from. | Meanwhile, I'm still struggling with what I should be collecting. I started out with patches while living/traveling in Europe. Then I thought it would be cool to collect pottery from all over the world, but soon enough it was a hard thing to do with a backpacking style, so I only have a vase from Mexico, an urn/mate from Uruguay, and a tea cup from Macau. Also tried a wooden figures for a while, which are abundant in Asia but so much in anywhere else, perhaps some in Africa (and ended up with a massive didgeridoo from Australia). And now, kind of shifting into collecting rocks/sand, but hard to find an authentic one while visiting big city (where to get a true rock from New York City ... ?). Not so keen of the idea of collecting some knick-knacks tho, although I've purchased some fridge magnets and cheesy souvenirs from places. Two things I always do while traveling: writing journals/scrap booking (i.e. cutting brochures/pics and glue them to my journal book) and sending a postcard or two to my mom and dad back in Indonesia. So at least I have a stack of postcards from places I've been, although technically they don't belong to me.

My son must have one from every city we go to, as well as a 'local' nic nak or two :) | HappyMystery Sam Shum Post Count: 28 Msg: #8 25 weeks ago, June 23rd 2009 | i collect shot glasses and bottle caps! Shot glasses aren't always sold in every country, so sometimes that gets difficult. i also like to save ticket stubs, metro passes, and brochures to stick/staple into my travel logbook. i'm kind of old fashioned. | Number of Users: 8 | Number of Posts: 8 | ||||||||||||||||
