My most unusual collection

About 35 years ago, I started collecting McDonalds placemats. The first McDonalds was a pretty big deal in Russia (Moscow), and Russia was my first international trip (outside of Canada). I thought it was so cool with the Cyrillic letters on the placemat. So I began collecting placemats in the other countries I visited. I stopped collecting years ago, but I held onto the original paper placemats and scanned them for this post. I consider them one of my most unusual collections.

Moscow (Russia)
Prague (Czech Republic)

Moldova

Germany

Mexico
