first one: hand lace purchased in Tibet. Know as the last piece of peaceful land in China, tibet still has it’s rawness for sure, but the commerical side is way beyond my imagination when I visit there. most of gadgets sold in Tibet were religious referenced. Personally I believe we don’t own anything in life, so I’m a big thrower, I don’t have much stuff carried with me most of the time but it is nice to have a piece of memory I am able to keep to prove I have been there. the handlace is pretty(quite an awful word), easy to carry and each of stone have religious story behind it, this is my affordable item I could keep to save me a piece of memory.

second one: the jacket I purched two years ago before I went my first university trip to Pairs. it was off the hight street line at that moment as this navy green was not as trendy as now. the scratch on the right pocket was done one night after my night shift: I got mugged by a drunk person 3am on my way home, running so fast and fell over. I feel proud see this each time as it shows how hard working I was. This jacket is so functional as well for the weights of it and mutipul big pockets, it will be one of the items i might keep with me forever.

third one: my backpack. it has been with me for 5 years now. travelled with me through out China from north to south, from east to west. carried it to England, travelled around europ. the experience of this bag is vast. I’m still using it for I really only keep things I still use, the memory stays and continues.
