Been there, done that, got the t-shirt to prove it

Posted Sunday, November 19, 2006, 3:12 PM by Lonely Planet



Maureen and Tony Wheeler model the Lonely Planet t-shirt in 1979.

FACT: souvenir designers love a good pun.

For example:
Czech me out
Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go to Amsterdam
Singapore: the fine city


Trust us, the slogans get worse. But what better way to prove that you've been there, than to return home with a trusty but tacky T.

They also make great gifts for those slightly strange uncles in your life.

View this great photo gallery on Flickr for some of the best (or worst) on the market.

How about "Itaca is Gorges" for cheese

I've always liked "My parents bought a t-shirt factory and all I got was this lousy t-shirt". Not really touristy, but funny all the same.

I've got a t-shirt from East Timor done in the style of Tin Tin, with the locals eating Tin Tin's dog. Now that's tasteful!

WHO CAN LEAVE THAILAND WITHOUT A 'SAME SAME BUT DIFFERENT' T-SHIRT? THEY MIGHT AS WELL BE THE THAI VISA
