¡i©ú³ø±M°T¡jHow can Pat not be a shopaholic in Austria (¶ø¦a§Q), a country famous for shimmering crystals?

¡§ MoMo: You've bought a lot of crystal jewellery already. Please keep within your budget. ¡¨

¡§ Pat: It's okay. I've got enough money. ¡¨

¡§ Eason: Hello, Madam. This Austrian crystal doll is exclusively designed for an elegant lady like you. ¡¨

¡§ Pat: One for me please! ¡¨

¡§ Pat: See what I've got from a jewellery shop in Austria. It's truly worth its price! ¡¨

¡§ Pat: I didn't ask for a wooden doll! ¡¨

¡§ MoMo: ...and that salesperson charged you three times its price! ¡¨

¡½Culture tips

Austria is the crystal-making capital of the world. Most Austrian crystal items are actually made of lead glass. They sparkle brilliantly and are very eye-catching. Swarovski, which Daniel Swarovski founded in 1895, is the most famous of Austrian crystal manufacturers. The brand even has a museum called Swarovski Crystal Worlds. Featuring crystal art installations, it is a famous tourist attraction in Austria.
