Each of us collects something, even unconsciously.
I remember the time when as an 8 year old I used to invite my friends to my staircase, where we built cities with Lego, each took his collection of Lego and we created various buildings for hours beautiful times.
Later came the time for duel masters card battles where everyone also wanted to have the largest collection of cards and the strongest
later time we collected albums with football players where you had to collect the entire cadre of players from countries(this actually worked only in Euro time.)
I still remember collecting Pokemon cards, or chip caps
But unfortunately what all these collections have in common is that I can't find them :(
What do I collect now as a 22 years old boy?
Like most people who follow my profile know that I love to travel around the world,at the beginning I used to buy magnets from every place I went to,but at 18yo I decided that it's too much and it's too big a waste of money for me,and for I stopped collecting magnets,but about two years ago(when i was 20 years old)I resumed this tradition and I try to buy a magnet from every place I go.
I think that travel magnets are a very cool souvenir,you just look at it on your fridge and you can reminisce and compare where it was so cool!
And this is my little collection of magnets
What kind of magnets i like most?
The magnets I like the most are the ones that are not classic but have a shape that characterizes the place I have been to, for example in Puket in Asia there is a magnet with a picture of a boat by a beautiful sea, because that is what I mainly associate with this place
An anecdote about a magnet with a dragon's head with the inscription krakow:
-Well in Poland we have a strange legend about the Wawel Dragon. They had to provide the monster with victims of cattle, and according to some legends, the beast devoured only virgins.
The Wawel Dragon - a creature living in a cave under the Wawel Hill - used to terrorize the inhabitants of the Krak's castle. They had to provide the beast with cattle victims, and according to some legends the dragon devoured only virgins. None of the knights managed to defeat him - only the shoemaker Skuba did it. He stuffed a ram with sulfur and put it in front of the dragon's den. The hungry monster devoured the ram and in this way fell into the trap set by Skuba. The sulfur made him feel a great pain and burning in his throat. To quench his thirst, he drank the Vistula water - until he burst. There was great joy in the town, and the heroic shoemaker was handsomely rewarded. The statue standing by the river at the foot of Wawel, at the entrance to the Dragon's Den, reminds us of the defeat of the dragon.
Thats why we have magnet with dragon!
