Unique Crafts from the Orient
I met my wife online many years ago, and after several years of typing back and forth and phone calls, she came to visit during Christmas, 2000. Shortly after she went back home I took a trip over there to visit her and spent 5 weeks in Asia. I spent the bulk of that time in Singapore, but we traveled to Bangkok, Thailand for a few days and also spent a few days in Hong Kong on the way back to Canada. There are some truly unique gifts and decor pieces from South East Asia, items you can’t normally find around here. Dragons carved from teak sawdust, gold mesh plates with dragons and pearls and various figurines are just a few of the things I brought back with me.
While browsing a website with pictures can’t compare to actually wandering the outdoor markets and haggling with the vendors, Asia Pelago is a great alternative for those who won’t be actually traveling to Asia but would like to decorate their home with unique and interesting items.
