Category: China

I recently got these bag of used pens from Amanda who teaches in China but lives in Ohio. She comes back home once a year to visit friends and family and this year she brought along some friends, a bunch of used pens:) What’s really awesome about receiving pens in the mail from other countries is that it reminds of when my dad used to travel abroad and he would always bring me back something. He usually brought back coins for my collection and twice he brought me toy cars, a red Alpha Romeo and a red remote controlled Ferrari. Even back then I was into collecting and cars and this particular batch of used pens reminded me of that happy memory. Amanda also wrote me note which I really appreciate because it takes the guess work out and I get to properly thank the donor, here is a what she said:

“Wishing you continued success and innovative ideas in your recycled pen project!! Know I’m a fan of your creativity and a fan of recycling trash into treasures, so you rank high in book of “Cool”:)

Amanda thank you so much for the pens and I wish you the best in your adventures in China and beyond.
