Visit to the Glass Production Factory
It is an amazing experience watching the craftsmanship, detail, time, and effort put into every single piece that is made. You learn to appreciate this and know what you are paying is worth it. Honestly, I wanted to buy more things but for the space and weight limit on my flight home, I couldn't. My hats off to every worker, artist in the company.
