| Sunday, February 19, 2006 When tourists visit one of the places of interest, they never forget to buy some souvenirs before continuing the journey. A souvenir is an object kept in memory of a person, place, or event. The souvenirs may be for themselves, may be for their relatives, and may be for their close friends. On the way a guide, who shows the way and explains the sights, usually accompanies them. They also bring with them books of information. Foreign tourists usually buy batik shirts and things made of silver and leather in Yogyakarta and puppets (wayang) in Solo and Bandung. Local crafts are of high quality, especially textile design (called batik), woodcarving, an silversmith. The tourists also buy clothes from Samarinda and Ujung Pandang. They also watch the local people in Bali carve the wood. All these things fascinate them. | |||
