So -- overseas and you go to an art shop and you see if he's the artwork.

What should you do with it.

Well I mean normally are it is a personal taste and sometimes when you do is that you really love it I think it's just my contention by Maarten and you don't know what to do.

So it's important to realize that when you buy an -- you have to try to remember wet while -- in your home.

-- -- benefit and where these colors gonna work with what I need.

Or is it something that just love -- I have to -- for example like in Australia aboriginal -- very -- -- We've brought one of the warrants that the five they actually didn't ship but I putted on the plane and brought it with me but that's something that you're not been -- I like -- -- -- and stuff from each country.

Aboriginal art from Australia and Thailand I don't.

There -- -- is and other jewelry is very important.

And volley that jewelry and artwork is very nice you know so I try to -- interesting things from every country and I do I resent it right now.

I try to see.

What is the most popular one of the things that -- specialized and when you go to China and you look at.

That people can't tell and -- way you can tell Jane is -- -- -- an -- and you look at it and there's no bubbles and you see things through I.

That's the -- to date also with -- for example of the silk and polyester that's being.

Problem honestly we have to do -- -- touchy touch so it's very smooth it's very smooth and -- when you put it in the light you can get a polyester and sell.

Still won't be -- regular an -- you'll see shapes but in polyester you'll see just a smooth line it'll be I'll -- well.

-- -- art it's kind of try to decide what to pay.

I mean you know you can find aren't that's very inexpensive.

And as long as you like it then you can -- -- but really honestly.

There's not -- I thought I it's basically if that's a big artists to something and he's very popularly you know the prices and Ella.

So there's no set price on how much aren't gonna cost.

I mean you can go for example in Thailand and go to a little those are and if you see a piece of artwork there and you love -- -- cost -- two dollars three dollars.

But -- you go to gallery and volley and you get this beautiful pain in my cost 2000 dollars because that that artists is famous in that area.

Then you're gonna pay whatever the value of that artist.

But most of regular art pieces that you buy when you -- -- they're not really.

That expensive and if you -- and customs and doesn't really care much about it I think you would have a difficult time is with antiquities.

If you bring in antiquity.

Through customs you have to have the proper paperwork because of that's a lot.

In other countries.
