Souvenirs are bought across the world in tourist locations in every major international city every day of the week by travelers who want souvenirs and mementos for themselves, friends, relatives and colleagues.

But here are some interesting tracks and issues that we tried to find answers for, including some Tit-that you might not know:

1. What is a memory "mean?

The word "remembrance" comes from the French meaning of the term (the same spelling). This means the memory, and are often used as a souvenir or a memento of a memorable event or holiday location.

2. What are the most common types of memories?

Shared memories that are often purchased by foreign tourists and travelers includes clothing such as t-shirts, hats and scarves, but also objects common household, such as mugs, tea towels, spoons and stationery.

3. Why did we used to buy memories anyway?

Travelers often buy souvenirs as gifts for friends, family and colleagues who could not attend the trip. This is particularly so in Japan, where tradition "meibutsu" or "OMIYAGE" are items of food or crafts, and are big business in Japan, to the point where is is deemed shameful if you do not return from your trip without gifts for those who remain!

4. What memories can we reduce our holidays?

Bring back memories in the UK from overseas could land you in much trouble with HM Revenue and Customs if the souvenirs are certain types of animal skins, shells and ivory, because of restrictions on international trade.

You could land your self in trouble even more serious if the item were "prohibited goods" such as unlicensed drugs (heroin, morphine, cocaine, etc.), offensive weapons, indecent or pornographic material banned in the United Kingdom, material showing extreme violence or counterfeited or pirated goods such as watches, CDs and DVDs, etc.

Without a license (which most if not all travelers) it is also illegal to import firearms, live animals (without import permits UK), the endangered species (whether alive or dead) and also certain radio transmitters are not allowed in the United Kingdom.

5. What memories and Dan Fogelberg have in common?

"Memories" is the title of the second album by Dan Fogelberg released in 1974. It includes titles such as "Song From Half" Mountain "Changing Horses" and the title track from the album "Souvenirs".

6. What are the most popular souvenirs for tourists in China?

The most popular souvenirs for those returning from China are Chinese tea, arts and crafts and clothing. All this comes from a survey of the 2008 Beijing Games and travel to China by Visa International.

7. What is the most expensive souvenir?

Well, in 2008, a banknote with a nominal value of £ 1 million (which was not legal I might add) was sold at auction in London for £ 78,300. She and one other known surviving note was kept in remembrance of the eight Marshall Plan £ 1 million bank notes in World War 2 by British and American secretaries.
