Made in China

Nowadays, wherever I go to a new city to visit , let it be Los Angeles, Dubai, Rome or Delhi; I would, by-default, step in some or the other souvenir shop to have a glance what they are selling. Time would pass, and 5000 years later when the earth's plates would have shifted considerably, the archaeologists (or, as I prefer to call 'cosmico-archaeologists') would be coming back to earth to trace civilizations, and gather facts to clarify their current debate whether once they inhabited it or not; on digging would find a few inches big Taj Mahal, or Al Burj hotel, or the miniature Hopi Indian or lord Krishna or Big Ben. All having solidly engraved in them – ‘Made in China’.
