"Lovely but shortlived" Top 5 Page for this destination Florence Tourist Trap Tip by croisbeauty
Florence Tourist Traps: 102 reviews and 55 photos
There are number of Chinese people, all over the old core of the town, offering hand-made products like trinkets, souveniers and birds made out of palm leaf. I stopped for a while by this girl observing her extremely skilled hands in making another bird (or perhaps it was butterfly). She need about 10 minutes to make one of this bird and sell it for five euros. I both one of this (because she told me she is a student) and placed it to hang in my car. When I came to Verona, week after, the bird was like dry twig and ugly so I had to thow it away.
Fun Alternatives: The alternative might be; buy yourself a big ice-cream, spending five euros on it, and watch the girl while working. Of course, ice-cream is shortlived too, but at least you'll feel much better.
