São Paulo, 20 oz.

Fellow collector Shannon bought me São Paulo and Brazil mugs during her recent trip to Brazil. I appreciated her gesture of getting me mugs without requiring a trade. I love collectors who are willing to help others instead of trying to compete with them.
I understand the thrill of acquiring mugs, but one must realize that they are simply material things. Treat others with respect, treat others how you would want to be treated, and be kind to everyone. Make collecting an enjoyable journey by making friends along the way instead of making enemies around the world.
Thank you again, Shannon, for making me believe that collecting mugs is truly a pleasant experience despite some “bad apples” that I encounter once in awhile.

Fellow collector Jackie sent me Chongqing, Dongguan, Foshan, and Shenzhen. Unfortunately, the Shenzhen mug’s handle has a crack across it. I really hate seeing damages to these mugs; it’s another sign of mug addiction. ;P

Friend Ed’s brother went to Ireland and was able to get me an Ireland mug. This is one of my most wanted mug and I’m so glad I finally got one!
