I didn't know they make their own perfume. I hope these would not be too expensive. Do you know a place where we could buy all this things? Tourists, like me, would be able to save time if all these products will be seen in one shop.;)


Perfume from Aruba, is what I'm also looking forward to buy. Do you think it would be very expensive? How about the dress for women? Do you think you can find it anywhere in the market? :rolleyes:

There would be plenty of dresses in Aruba. My friend told me that in Oranjestad, there would be many local stores that sell affordable clothes. I wonder, how do the locals dress themselves?

I have seen in television how pots are made. They use this simple machine and mold the clay using their hands. Do you think we could make our own pot? I'm just curious.:rolleyes:

Wow! I think that is a great idea. Where could we find these pottery shop? :confused: I hope we could find one because they are the ones who could really answer your question.

Making clay pots are very simple. I made one in art class during high school. You don't always have to use a machine to mold the clay, it can be done using your hands. Afterward, when you're ready to fire it, you just put it in a kiln which is just a big oven for pottery. This shouldn't drive up the cost of pottery too much.

I'm interested in the miniature gifts that someone mentioned earlier. What kind of miniature gifts? Do you mean glass miniatures, clay miniatures, or something else entirely?

I haven't heard about glass miniature. Do they make glass pots? :rolleyes: I think it would be more expensive than the ones made from clay. Which do you think is better, the clay or glass one?
