This is a lovely little piece of toilet paper that is quite common in Central Asia and parts of Eastern Europe. I know this might not look very familiar to you now, but if you imagine it as being bright pink or orange, it may remind you of the paper streamers that would decorate birthday parties.
I like to grab a postcard or two from various places I’ve traveled to add to my collection back home. Not sure just yet what I’m going to do with them all. I almost feel as though they are tiny pieces of artwork collected around the globe.
These are actually the receipts for my Russian lessons over in Kyrgyzstan. For some reason, these just looked really old-school and cool with their official stamps and Russian writing. So, they are another weird item I’ve held onto during my travels.
Cool memories, Brooke!
Thanks, Craig
I like to think so, too.
Very nice design to your site.
I totally understand… I’ve been known to collect strange things too! Notably, I like to collect napkins (and then write on them) from around the world. Weird, huh?
Haha, napkins eh? What do you do with ‘em once you get home?
hi. new blog is batter )))
interesting souvenirs… we use it.
if toilet paper run down we use a newspapers.
Sometimes on walls of Russian or Ukrainian toilet you can see brown lines. it means somebody did not have a toilet paper. he do it with a finger, after that wipe it off the wall =)
Nick, that’s gross man. yuck!
Brooke, you have a beautiful site, I can’t wait to explore it! What a great concept – things that you’ve treasured from around the world. Looking forward to reading more..
Cheers, Rachel
