Exchanges of things from the World
So I totally forgot about the whole exchange of commodities idea when we get back, so...
Jake, from India, I would like a Sruti Box, what it is:
A sruti box is a small wooden instrument that traditionally works on a system of bellows. It is similar to a harmonium and is used to provide a drone in a practice session or concert of Indian classical music. Adjustable buttons allow tuning. It is also called sruti petti in Tamil and Telugu and sur peti in Hindi. (Wikipedia)
If you can find something that makes a drone sound...sieze it!
Sarah, from Nicaragua, I would like some cocaine. Preferably uncut if you are able to get it from the source, and maybe about two or three kilograms. That should last me for a little bit. Otherwise, I've seen great tapestries from nicaragua when I worked at the textile museum, any possibility of that?
Now, more importantly, is the question of alcohol. I am going to see what the whole deal is with liquids coming back from France, but I know with champagne, you have to carry it on the plane with you because of the air pressure. Otherwise, is there anything specific that you would like? I can reccomend some particular good wines from Bordeaux and from Avignon, as well as some liqueurs like Kir, Calvados, and Absinthe. I'm going to Germany next month on a beer run with my eurorail pass, so there's that possibility too. Let me know, but I'll see if I can some of this stuff in the US now seeing as how I'm 21, I'd be more than happy to be the alcohol connection. Also, I'm making a run to Brussels, so there's belgian chocolate, and Austria, Switzerland, and Prague.
Think about it...

Please oh please bring back some delicious German beer. Indian beer is just so...bad. They're not big drinkers here.
There's a music shop here in town, I'll see what I can find for ya.
