This is an interesting prompt, because I don’t have very many mementos from my childhood, having moved from Taiwan to California in 1979 with just some suitcases and nothing more.
Things That Remind Me of My Childhood:
- Coca Cola
- G-Force / Gatchaman cartoon (I loved it so much as a kid that I actually bought the entire 112 episode DVD series when it came out a few years ago!)
- Grilled corn with spicy sauce from street vendors in Taipei
- Playing Chinese jacks (watch youtube video on how to play!)
- Kickball
- Pencil boxes
- Scratch N Sniff stickers
- Jumping puddles with my rain boots on
- My mechanical pencil collection (still have it)
- Hello Kitty
- Walking to school with my sister
- Oakland A’s and San Francisco Giants
- Scooby Doo
- Schoolhouse Rock
thanks for the link about Chinese jacks. Never heard about it before!

Just to let you know I couldn't find Chinese Jacks anywhere so I started manufacturing them so my kids and others could have the fun we did as kids! I don't want to solicit on here but if you want you can check out my blog to find out more! Thanks!!!
