My mom just got back from a trip down under and she brought everyone in my family back some souvenirs since that's what we do. Before she'd left, I joked about her bringing me back a "real knife", harkening back to good ol' Crocodile Dundee, albeit not too seriously.

As it turned out, though, she put some serious effort into finding me a "real knife" to no avail. To that, I am dismayed and have to ask... what gives? I thought Australians were all about "real knives" and all that stuff! Sure, a boomerang is great, but the instructions say to release it from my right shoulder... and I'm left-handed! What good will that do me?

I'm very disappointed, Australia.

To give it a topic, have you ever been places where you wish they had certain souvenirs and didn't?
