[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A pp mentioned a lack of distinctiveness and I agree with this. I am mid 50s and have travelled and worked overseas a lot. Most shops aren’t that different in asia or Europe to what we have here. Most souvenirs in every country are mass produced in China and not particularly unique. I also see museums differently to how I used to, particularly [b]how much of poorer countries have been plundered to create the exhibits (eg British Museum[/b]). And of course the crowds. Visiting Venice feels like going to a theme park. No one really lives there anymore. It is just a giant hotel with tourists wandering around. [/quote] Without the imperialists taking items back (which often were sold by locals anyway), those artifacts probably wouldn't exist any more. I know that's the case with the Elgin marbles. Be grateful these things have been preserved for humanity.[/quote]
