                                                                        work of art

  I'm a collector and traveler, I like to travel in many countries to look for a different art, this time my goal in Asia and Africa.
  I think learn countries can learn from a lot of crafts, for example, I have a wooden ruler, this ruler came form China, the scale is a "CM", so I know the Chinese always use CM as the unit of measurement. My first stop is China. Chinese people are very friendly and sitting next to me on the train, he give me three very special food that is chestnut, Chinese called is "lizi", such as in the brown shell has a sweet fruit, I think is very   delicious. His body covered with a blanket, he tell me this  blanket has 200 years history, I'm very surprise. A long time ago, a friend sent me a seal. he tell me,the role of the seal and the signature is the same, I always take it with me, because this is a culture. I came to a small town, here the most easy to find something worth collecting things. I found one booth in the very narrow streets, there have two things attracted me, one thing is a jar, this jar looks very special. The owner told me this is Chinese pottery manufacturing the height of the production. another one is a wallet, but I think this wallet has already can't put money, because that is very beautiful, It beautiful pattern deeply attracted me. I decided to put the two are bought. The shopkeeper think I generous, so he want send me a his backyard model, that is very delicate. This year is the year of the dog, China's year are named after animals, so I left I bought some dog's commemorative COINS. This lie China travel from the beginning to the end let I benefit a lot.
  Next stop is Africa. The Africa is a mysterious place, they like to use sculpture record history. In an African old man's house I found a half-naked sculpture, the old man told me this sculpture recorded one of the oldest human civilization, at that time, human beings are the half. Fellow Indians took out his sculpture that is a man in the joy of drums, he told me this sculpture record their party scene. I am in the market to buy a head sculpture, this sculpture just a woman's head, although a little terror but her eyes are very beautiful. at last, the Indians friend give a boat model, This is the Indian characteristic of boat, I love it.
  Collect work of art  let me know more about other country's history and culture, I'm very enjoy it. This trip contact things are my beloved.
