World Culture Exchange: package from Oregon, USA

The package from our World Culture Swap swappers in Oregon arrived a little while ago, but I've only just had the chance to blog about it. Here it is:




The package included a coin, a pencil, a map, stickers, raffia and instructions to make 'cordage', information on the area, plus a 'thunder egg' (geode rock) with instructions on how best to break it open (yet to be tried!)




Oh, and some nuts, which dd quickly stole and gobbled up!



We've been browsing through the package every couple of days, reading bits of the information and looking at the items. Slow digestion :)

As soon as I get a chance I'll pop up details of the other two packages that have arrived.

Hi Nichola!

Great post! We too were excited when we received our swap from Oregon. I'm currently working on blogging about your package. :) This is my latest blog post about the culture swap. :) Thank you!
