The “village” is like a symphony of colors under the sunlight in a peaceful setting. In 1979, after receiving a postcard from his daughter with a picture of a glass castle – an attraction on Vancouver Island in the province of British Columbia (Canada), Edouard T.Arsenault was inspired to build the park. Present your own glass bottles. In the summer of that year, he began collecting bottles from the surrounding area, mainly from local restaurants, friends, relatives and neighbors. He then spent the winter in his basement cleaning bottles, removing labels, and brooding about the project. In the spring of 1980, at the age of 66, he began work on the project on the grounds of his house on Prince Edward Island. More than 12,000 recycled glass bottles are cleverly linked together to form a 6-gable house measuring 4x6m. The house opened to visitors in 1981. Impressed with the unique architecture, visitors urged Mr. Arsenault to build more buildings out of glass bottles. By 1983, he had completed a tavern made of 8,000 glass bottles and a prayer hall made of 10,000 glass bottles. The “village” made up of about 30,000 recycled glass bottles of various colors and sizes and surrounded by beautiful flower gardens has become a paradise for photographers, nature and soul lovers. with recycling projects. After Mr. Arsenault’s death, this wonderful work continued to be maintained by his family. Some pictures of the unique “village” made from glass bottles by Mr. Edouard T.Arsenault: Inspired by his daughter’s postcard, Edouard T.Arsenault built his own glass bottle architecture. All bottles must be cleaned and labels removed before construction work can begin. About 30,000 recycled glass bottles were used. In 1983, Arsenault completed his own pub. The “village” made of thousands of recycled glass bottles has become a tourist attraction.

1. The postcards beautifully decorated Postcards are small, light, and compact souvenirs that make them perfect for collectors. In addition, you can take pictures yourself to attach to the postcard, both keeping memories and making the photo more eye-catching and interesting. If not, you absolutely can buy postcards with pictures or pictures to decorate at home. For example, cards with pictures of the place you are visiting, or record activities that people there are doing on a daily basis. All seem to fit on a postcard. 2. Handicraft souvenirs of local artisans Think of souvenir ideas that will increase demand for your local community and ultimately your own life. Buying in favor of local goods while traveling is a form of sustainable tourism. You will feel like you are making a small contribution to the local economy, helping to develop that tourist destination, so that you and your family can come back to visit and relax again and again. For example: In Cambodia, you should visit Artisans D’Angkor, a handicraft workshop, which produces metal bedside jewelry racks and some local scarves. In Kenya, stuffed animal toys and funny jewelry from Amani ya Juu handcrafted by local African women can be the perfect gift. It sells a few home decorations such as hand-knit baskets, ceramic display plates, and clay animal displays from the Masai market in Nairobi. – In Italy, you can choose to buy leather goods such as gloves, bags, purses, passport bags and belts from a local Florentine designer instead of going to big luxury stores. – In the Netherlands, there are many places selling Delft vases and wooden perforated tulips from a local artist. In Thailand, an interesting souvenir is a beautiful traditional wooden umbrella. 3. Home decorations Who wouldn’t want their house to be their own reflection?
