Hey...that's everywhere you go...Chicago is no exception...nor is Washington DC (3 t-shirts for $10), Toronto (I'd like a NICE Leafs jersey, please), etc. It's weird to me that this still even happens in this Global Village...there's still a market for Tourist Tat? Kultural Kitsch still exists? Okay...so I brought a bunch of plastic sushi replicas back from Tokyo but that was Kool Kitsch...I did pass of the wooden shoes in Holland, didn't I?

The guy that I know that has had some of the worst times bringing back souvenirs is the guy who tries to bring back a six pack of brews from where ever he visits...he has some 'splainin' to do. He once took two cases of Old Style on a flight to Philadelphia as carry on luggage...

Best
