Reply to "PACKING ME GRIP FOR A TRIP."

A number of years ago, while on a project in Mexico, we were having lunch in a restaurant, with our partners.

The conversation drifted to currency and I showed  Rosy, the person sitting to me,  some Canadian coins. I later gave her the coins.

A year later she visited Canada on a speaking tour and gave me seven Mexican coins in friendship, because she said I gave her seven coins.

Now while travelling,   I carry seven Canadian coins in a Ziploc bag, with Canadian flag pins and pins from our town.

If I sit next to a person on an aircraft with whom I had a wonderful conversation, I would give them the package with seven coins  in friendship from Canada. I  might never see the person again.

The last persons I gave the coins were from Cameroon and Pakistan.

This courtesy has grown to about 100 others doing the same, while travelling.
