There is a Finnish series too - My daughter doesn't read them though :)

A physical book, scrapbooks, photo albums, diaries, artwork..... Not saying I do them, but those are what I cherish most.

Funny, isn't it? The things we treasure are generally physical. Perhaps it is because there is a greater sense of loss when they are destroyed.

Speaking of which, did your colleague/friend manage to get his diary that was lost in his luggage back?

Unfortunately not :/
