London Symbols


Here's another magnet from my colleague, Duangrat.

All three symbols of London, England in one magnet:-
The Big Ben; Red Double Decker Bus; Black Cab.

Anyone, anywhere in the world, will immediately think of London if they see an image of any of these iconic symbols.

Pedestal Tray


As a confirmation to my previous post on camel, this is another collectible which shows UAE's attachment to camels. A pedestal tray inscribed with camel and palm tree in the dessert.

One of pedestal trays I brought back from my trips to Dubai. I visited Dubai three or four times during the years 2002 - 2005. Searching through the internet, things and places have changed a lot during the past five years. Wishing that I could visit Dubai again for new collectibles.

Epidaurus Theater


Epidaurus Theater is one of the most important ancient sites in Greece. It was built 2500 years ago. It was ruined, discovered, excavated and then restoration work has been carried out so that the theatre can still be used safely. It is still hosting Greek dramas today.

The theater was considered to have great acoustics. The audience can perfectly hear the actors without the sound having to be amplified. The limestone rows filter the low-frequency sounds but amplify the sounds from the stage.

Collectible of the ancient site from my eldest daughter from her flight to Greece.
