Souvenir buying back home

 Bought most of my souvenirs from Vegas , with a big chunk of it coming from Planet Hollywood .

This pill box pictured below , was the odd one I got off a shop by the strip .

Along the way , I picked up two native items ( a rockface magnet as well as a personalized ballpen ) from Arizona and a just one very low quality tee shirt ( clothes from Turkey are ten thousand times better ) after a mad dash past Mann's Chinese Theater in Hollywood Boulevard .

But by the time we reached San Francisco , and I realised that most items sold in the shops not only were made in China , but were basically repetitions with changes in the name of the state one was in , that was when I decided to completely stop buying .

Over the years I have been contemplating the next silly move ....

which is to buy my souvenirs when I get back home .

Seeing how one pays a bomb for something which is mass produced in the same place , which is China , yet which we know we can get at the fraction of the price when we touch down back home , unless they are special commemorative edition products , why not ?

While I regret getting the Eiffel Tower replica which is available almost anywhere you look , and some other junk souvenirs I cannot even recall , items like those that are handmade by artisans and craftswomen or unique to theme park anniversaries , stamp launches or sporting events are what I never hesitate to pick up .

Don't Breathe playing next to Can't Hear

Trooping into the cinema with the sole intention of catching that knee buckling scary old man flick , Don't Breathe , we were..... well , you can say somewhat prepared to Not Breathe .

Then , as I checked out the movie listing , I noticed this .

Pekak means Deaf in Malay .

Which can be interpreted as Can't Hear .

Ageing good

You can pick up this flyer from participating cinemas which will entitle you to a consultation session at Kiehl's .

But that's not why I wanted it .

Rather it was whose face it was that was gracing the little piece of paper as well as those stupidly nonsensical epic words at the bottom

" I want YOU 2 Age Good "

as well as .....

Have been cracking my head over how best to outwit street thieves. You know, the kind that bumps into you 'accidentally '.  Just not willing to loose any amount of cash or card to them. Yes, I'm gonna try to rise above the problem. Toyed with the idea of sewing secret compartments on my clothes. Moved on to looking at moneybags. Until I recalled, from past experience, that they feel very uncomfortable indeed . Forget it.
