Unique Things Found at the Resort

Flippers, swim-fins or foot fins for divers. According to www.wikipedia.com this are worn on the foot or leg and made from fin-like rubber or plastic, to aid movement through the water in water sports activities such as swimming body-boarding, body surfing, knee-boarding, river boarding and various types of underwater diving.But the foot fins you saw above is a different kind of fins because this one is made of wood, it can not be wear by any divers because the size of this one is just like the size of a mobile phones. 
This is just a key holder foot fins I took a picture because it's a unique key holder for me and I haven't seen a foot fins key holder before. If you take a look at the photo you can find that it is big and can be use by people for diving but it is not, some local people especially those fishermen here in the Philippines uses also a wooden foot fins they made their own foot fins and used it when they are catching fish for them to swim faster than the way they swim on their own feet without using this equipment. But this one is just a key holder with attached the keys from the rooms we rented it a nice and unique key holder made of wood.
I love to bring this foot fins at home when we depart from the resort and make it as a souvenir, a remembrance from the place but I can't do that since this one is not for sale so I looked for something unique things at the resort and found this very awesome Sea Shell beside the sea and this one is for sale so I can take this one home.
This is really Amazing and awesome creation of a Sea Shell where they put some creatures inside the shell, according to the salesman who was selling this souvenir to us this cost Php150.00 pesos. You will surely buy this shell if you see it in person because of its beauty and uniqueness. As you can see there are star fish, another small shell and a small crab inserted inside which attracts the most about this shell.
I remember back when I was young, collecting this kind of shell in our place there are a lot of shell like this but we collected the small one and we used it for playing together with my friends the game was like a marble game in which we need to shoot the shells into the three holes created in a form of triangle at the land or soil. It is a capturing game in which if you shoot the shell through spinning it going into the holes and if you shoot it perfectly all of your opponents shell will be yours. We called this shell in our local dialect as "Buskay"
