modern_messiah 0 Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 I'll keep 1 Yen coins as souvenirs! I love how things that are boring in your country excite others. I'll be keeping my train tickets to look at for years to come lol. Kind of sad actually...meh. I kept a 100 Dong (Vietnam) note for about 2 years until I gave it away to a guide dogs charity bin. It was so worthless I felt bad and tried getting it back out. I could'nt. My gf at the time was ashamed because people walking past thought I was trying to nick coins. Good times.

modern_messiah 0 Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 lol. I love collecting things from other countries. My father has a 6 pack of beer from South Africa (Limited edition of some form). They will be 19 years old this year - still unopened lol. No idea why he's keeping them...

s3phis 0 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Hmmm... I think canned beer might be a better collector's item than coins! Imagine having a cellar full of old beer cans from the world over Link to post Share on other sites
gareth_oau 2 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I won a bottle of Johnny Walker Red label nearly 30 yers ago, and it still sits on my shelf unopened (I dont drink). An average scotch at best, but wonder what it might be like in another 50 or so years (probably still average at best!!) Link to post Share on other sites
ShinyDiscoBall 2 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I remember when a bottle of Black Johnny Walker was this great present for people in Japan. (I think I remember that anyway). Now, it's really cheap down any liquor shop. Link to post Share on other sites

bobby12 0 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 When I was in India in 1996 the Indians all seemed to worship Johnny Walker, wonder if things have changed there too. Link to post Share on other sites
modern_messiah 0 Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 At the end of the day if I can stomach it I don't care how expensive or "flashy" it is - long as it does the job lol. Link to post Share on other sites
