Comments on: Travel Tips, part 5, or buy that cheesy souvenir! http://rjz.verminbrewing.com/2006/08/01/travel-tips-part-5-buy-that-cheesy-souvenir/ Ideas about travel and everything else, collected while traveling the world Mon, 30 Jan 2012 20:53:13 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Mark http://rjz.verminbrewing.com/2006/08/01/travel-tips-part-5-buy-that-cheesy-souvenir/comment-page-1/#comment-427 Mark Thu, 10 Aug 2006 03:05:18 +0000 http://rjz.verminbrewing.com/2006/08/01/travel-tips-part-5-buy-that-cheesy-souvenir/#comment-427 So after reading this blog and all the comments I have new appreciation for the bottle of Becherovka I bought in the Czech Republic, it's a liquer of sorts native to that consonant infested land. It's empty but from time to time I'll open it and take a whiff of two weeks of travelling solo for the first time a European country and all the beautiful women I wish I could've had while I was there. (Oh so bitter sweet!)

I'm a big fan of jewelry which is small and provides a happy memory. I have a friend who buys one big thing on each trip to cut down on the tchochkes, but she still has a nice souvenir. So, a big ceramic bowl from Mexico, a painting from Italy, etc. I promise to buy you a camel when I make it to Egypt. It will never be as cool as the original, but it will remind you of the one that got away... Interesting, I buy fewer touristy items on each trip.

I didn't buy anything in Kaula Lumpur or Penang. And the only thing I bought in Cambodia were some T-shirts and a wooden knife with a Naga carved on the handle because I can use it as a Tanto in Aikido practice. (in my defense, I really have no room to gather things) The only souvineer I've been tempted to buy in Thailand (and I will buy one befre I leave) is a hand made steel monk's begging bowl from one of the last bowl making neighborhoods near Khao Sarn road.

Pepsi, Coke and other products familiar to the U.S.A. as well as products not avaliable here. I had always wondered how to spell "Pepsi" in arabic...
