What Not to Buy When Traveling? I Beg to Differ.

I'm sure building collectors will agree with my disagreement with CNN's travel writers who suggest avoiding the purchase souvenir buildings when traveling. Check out number 6 in CNN's photo gallery. Julio T. sent me this tip and link. The writer points out what not to buy with a long list, but no suggestions of what you should buy. Yes, sometimes travelers buy too much junk when visiting countries, landmarks and cities. But, if you're a collector of these items you make a beeline to the gift shop in search of an addition to your collection. I wrote previously about a New York Times piece  also discussing travel souvenirs.
