Exchange Program

Nomad · Post by **Nomad** » Sun Oct 09, 2005 7:01 am

I would like to open an exchange program.

For anyone overseas is there something American you would like that you cant find there. It could be anything, a brand of cookies you cant get or a cereal. We have a few British things here like crumpets or some ginger thins but not much. Is anyone interested ? It doesnt have to be food it could be anything native to your land. Trinkets, something you saw once that looked cool, it could be _________???

Could be fun !

This could be interesting Nomad....I need to have a think about it.

I do have a question though....I have always been interested in Indian dream catchers. Is this really a Native American thing or just a gimmicky thing they sell in 'quirky shops' ?

Bez, they have real ones-lots of gimicky ones of course. Anything you want Native American let me know, I will send you links where to send for them, or I can send them to you.

Thanks chonsi...you never know what is authentic, or what is just fake stuff made in Hong kong !!!

I wanted a little Buddha statue....not worried where it was made, but the ones I looked at were plastic....UGHHHHH

same as crystals etc....you pick them up expecting them to be heavy, and they're plastic.....but glass prices ! :-5

Chewing gum unless i am mistaken. can get a big pack for a couple of bucks here...lol

Thanks for enlightening me Floppy!! Never seen or heard of it.

Thanksgiving at Nomads sounds good! Do you think he could cope with us all in one room!!;)

The Idea of a swap is that whoever you swap with comes to stay at your place whilst you stay at theirs, have a good nosey through the bedside cabinet etc etc lol :sneaky:
