All of mine are originally from Japan or Korea, but then as most of mine are second-hand purchases then I realised that, that added some miles on to them.
So then I sat and thought……….
Unfortunately I am blissfully unaware of the history of all my dolls but I believe that perhaps Jarek my Unique CH Jun is the most travelled as he came from Korea, went to North America then I believe to Europe, then back to North America and then to me ….but I am not altogether sure about any of this…it is mostly ‘what I believe’
Quite a few of mine in the past have come to me with a stop off in North America but this is becoming a less frequent route now as customs charges in this country are now making it almost impossible to buy dolls via that route.
The customs charge can add a whole £100 extra on the cost of an incoming doll, which is why the British whinge so much about customs charges….have you seen the length of the thread over on DoA’s!!!
Sorry I digress!!!
And as to ‘secondary’ travelling within my country…well that was easy to answer, James and Mai have travelled with me the most to accompany me on holiday or travelling to visit friends
I nearly forget to add-what a journey your latest one has made….I am assuming that you have only got the one doll from Belguim
Now I wonder if this globe-trotting will leave any mark on her character, it will be interesting to see
Great question!
