I used to have many collections, somewhat like yours too. but as my age grows older, I tend to pay more attentions to memorial things such as gift items, love letters, poems and so on. Gosh...I did not realized I could be so romantic and sentimental after all.</p> <p>The best collectibles would still be my brain as it has followed me for so many years and served as my life's storage media. Unfortunately, those sweet or bitter memories could not be materialized into black and white for my future generations. How I wished it could be converted into DVD...haha :P</p> <font color=#590000>CC: It's not a luggage, just a box that modeled like one. Heh. I don't collect those things anymore, like you, I'm not collecting stuff that's of sentimental value. I guess as we grow older, we become more sentimental. You're right, the best collectibles are those stored in our minds.</font> Not a bad idea for putting everything into a luggage.

Still collecting coins and notes though as I have one large collection back home and some British coins with different designs here (just like those in Australia - different designs of coins). And lately, I seemed to be very keen on keychains, metal keychains to be exact form different parts of the world that I had been to.</p> <font color=#590000>CC: That's great! A friend used to collect coins from around the world but her whole collection was stolen few years back. Have to keep it safe.
