Bringing souveniers and gifts for exchange @madrid11_en #wyd




WHEW! Just went out today to buy some stuff for my trip to Madrid. I have read that it is good to bring some souveniers from your home country, to share and exchange with the people we meet along the way.

So today, i went to central market (a well known place to purchase Malaysian souveniers and crafts) and managed to find some very affordable gifts. It was so affordable that i think i went overboard and purchased way too many!

I found these lovely key chains at a very reasonable prices, in various designs depicting well known Malaysian icons, or cultural symbols. So. I went ahead and bought 60 pieces! I think i over did it. Well if i have too many at the end of the day, i will just hand it out to anyone i meet .

While i was there i also purchased a large Malaysian flag, to waive in the air at any events! (Yes despite the shit that we read in the news about our country, i do still love my country) And also a disposable poncho for the summer rain. All in all, about a good RM 75 spent for this.

Here is another close up shot of some of the key chains

  1. Good idea. I'm making rosary keychains, and my goal is to make about 200 to bring to wyd.
