🚩Shepherd 🏴 added,
...I mean I actually bought some in Bahrain, Egyptian gods carved from black stone. Also a model camel made from "genuine camel leather, beautiful lady". That guy was really good at sales.
If I ever realize my dream of going to Egypt I will require a minder to carry the money for meals and lodging because I will be absolutely unable to resist stopping to peruse every single item a local is using to separate tourists from cash.
(unsurprisingly locals loved me when I was in the Navy - I do not haggle and I love tacky things. The guy with the Egyptian gods and model camels personally walked me down to his cousin's shop, where I bought fancy perfume bottles)
In Peru and Chile I not only bought alpaca fiber textiles and yarn but also a card a handwritten poem in Spanish on it from a panhandler, a shiny plastic necklace from another one, a replica of some pornographic pottery...
TL;DR I miss traveling because I am absolutely in love with tacky souvenirs designed solely to separate tourists from their cash.
Oh my god Dublin would be a dream for you then haha
It would be another situation where someone else had to hold the food and lodging cash
