Just for Laughs—Funny but Definitely Flimsy Souvenir From Famous World Heritage Site

The souvenir that is attracting attention is a kind of postcard sold by local vendors in Machu Picchu. And it’s no ordinary postcard. We interviewed a Japanese tourist who visited Machu Picchu to hear about it.

According to the tourist, “Local vendors at Machu Picchu suddenly come to sell you postcards on the street, but what makes these postcards different is that your picture is pasted on them.”

What is happeing here is that local vendors are arbitrarily taking pictures of visitors and pasting the pictures on regular postcards of Machu Picchu to sell to the unsuspecting visitors.
