10. An article you own whose main interest to you is that it came from a foreign country. Like, a souvenir, or exotic knickknack. I have some very old money from the Phillippines and Japan, there's no dates that I can see but I believe they are from WWII era. I've been meaning for years to see what exactly some of these bills are worth and find out how old they are.

10. An article you own whose main interest to you is that it came from a foreign country. Like, a souvenir, or exotic knickknack. My grandmother came from Poland. I have my grandmother's boarding pin, with her photograph. Her mother put her on a ship headed to the U.S.A. in search of a better life, when she was 16 years old. My mom told me when she got off the ship at the Statue of Liberty, she didn't know which way to turn, but she walked the streets, and within a short time, she got a few sewing jobs, and eventually she started her own dressmaker business. Quite an inspiration for me. I credit her for that determination and work ethic.

Our dining table gets a bit messy then my wife becomes annoyed and clears it off.
10. An article you own whose main interest to you is that it came from a foreign country. Like, a souvenir, or exotic knickknack. Like everyone I have many articles that were made in China, but that's not the source of any interest. I'll go with my India Banyan trees. I have 4 that are bonsai, 2 that are just houseplants. I planted them from seed that I got from a guy in Portugal about 15 years ago.
