I can't imagine ever goingaway on vacation and coming back with less than I took. Usually the suitcase,or the back of the car will be  16  to capacity. Last time itwas a set of wooden rowboat oars and a captain's wheel that I  17 in bric--a-brac(小玩艺儿)store during our family holiday along the coast. I decided my"finds"were too good to leave  18  . And it seemsI'm in good company.

Shopping is a major part ofbeing a  19  , taking up to one-third of our vocation budgets.And with the World Bank  20  over one billion people travelfor leisure outside their own countries each year, the mind is shocked at howmuch money we spend on souvenirs to  21  us of our adventures.

It starts at the airport dutyfree stores,  22  on the plane, and ramps up(增加) at the hotelsurrounded by gift  23  and at the crowded local markets andlandmarks. If we're very  24  ,it persists on the special bustours that take us round town and end up at a discount store  25  bythe driver's cousin.

So why do we all get the 26  to snap up foreign items on holiday? And is it  27  toensure those never-to-be-repeated purchases are worth every dollar or euro? To 28  what's going on, I asked family, friends and work colleagues tounpack their gift stories.

Whether it's' the spare timevacation  29  us to browse(浏览) shops for non-essentialsor the exciting atmosphere of a new location, or the aching need tohave  30  we've been away, there are common themes to ourholiday buying. We'd better keep in mind some rules next time we venture fromhome.
