Arjun: Our family has created a collection of items from many places. My dad travels a lot, so he got things as souvenirs. He also got items for us when we were little and not on the trip, and when we traveled with him he got us items too. I like them all, so here is an item with importance. It was one my dad got from Peru, when we weren't there. He got it at the Amazon River. It's a **stuffed piranha on a stand!** He was fishing in the A. River for piranhas with a guide. He caught one, and the guide got one and made it into the souvenir. Here are other items that we have collected over the years:
 * A monkey container carved out of a coconut from India
 * The stuffed piranha on a stand from Peru
 * A deck of cards of emperors and empresses from China
 * A small metal model of part of the Great Wall Of China from China
 * Plastic statues of emperors and empresses from China
 * A small wooden viking from Denmark
 * A small wooden viking ship from Finland
 * Terracotta statues from China (We made some of them)
 * A hat from Russia
 * A hat from China
 * A hat from Denmark

I like to collect necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. Each bracelet, earring, or necklace is unique in its own different way. I started to collect this when I was four and so far I’m still collecting!!!!!!! I was inspired by my mom because she has so much. Its really fun to collect. I think everyone should collect something. I got my first necklace and bracelet on Feb 21, 1997 (in other words the day I was born)and I still have it. Right now and its my favorite. I have about 20 bracelets, 20 necklaces, and 20 earrings. I think 10 years from now I will still be collecting!!! --dogs998
