VeraMaria Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 (edited) In Uruguay every year when we visit for Christmas, we (my cousins and I) have two choices to make money to buy presents for the family. We used to do this till I was 12 , we went to the beach (This is in Punta del Este) we would take the prettiest shells, and when we got home we would, with these really thin, fine special pens, write "Punta del Este" in different fonts on them, and something like a sun setting over the ocean. Then we'd find colored threads, braid them together, take a small metal keyring, and there's a keyhain, lol. And then we used to sell them to tourists at the "Feria Artesanal", which is two blocks away from my grandma's villa. Fun times... I never sold candy though....

DemonSlayer Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 We had to sell stuff against our will in primary school and high school, we even had to sell flower bulbs/seeds once, which was a bit unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
