[02:04.11]An unusual hobby  Interview with Fritzi

[02:16.86]So,Fritzi,how did you get into collecting china elephants?

[02:23.31]Well,it all goes back to when I was a kid.

[02:28.45]When I was about six or seven,one of my cousins gave me a small china elephant for my birthday,

[02:36.11]and I liked it so much I decided 1 to start collecting them.

[02:41.75]so it just started from there,really.

[02:46.11]So,you've been collecting ever since?

[02:50.48]Yeah,that's right.It's almost thirty years now.

[02:55.93]I know some people might think it's strange that I didn't grow out of it,

[03:02.00]but the more china elephants I bought,the more interested in them I got.

[03:08.26]So,what is it that interests you about them?I don't know,really.

[03:15.03]I like the fact that there are so many different kinds and I also like the fact

[03:21.38] that some of them are so beautiful,

[03:25.64]Also,I just really like elephants,They're amazing animals.

[03:32.19]There's something very special about them.In some cultures,they're sacred 2.

[03:39.27]Actually,I think I might have been an elephant in one of my past lives!

[03:46.72]And how many have you got now?

[03:50.79]I've got over five thousand,

[03:55.15]It's one of the biggest collections 4 in the country,I think.

[04:00.33]I'm getting new ones all the time as well.I find them in second-hand 5 shops.

[04:07.17]I buy them on the Internet and sometimes friends give me them as presents.

[04:12.92]Where do you keep them all?

[04:16.55]Well,I've got a special room in my house where I've got them all on display.

[04:23.18]I've got shelves of them!

[04:27.62]Actually,one day I'd like to open my own china elephant museum.

[04:33.79]I'm sure a lot of people would come and see it.

[04:38.65]You also run a club,don't you?How did that start?

[04:44.21]Well,back in the late 1980s,I just wanted to try to meet other collectors and find out more about the history of china elephants

[04:54.19]and about all the different kinds that exist 6 around the world.

[04:59.65]I found out that there weren't really any books or catalogues 7 on the subject,

[05:06.49]so I started my own club.

[05:10.33]It's just grown and grown and now there are about 125 members.

[05:17.60]We meet up from time to time and we swap 8 elephants and things like that It's great,

[05:25.07]and since we went online,collectors from all over the world have got in touch with us,which is great.

[05:33.11]Do you have a favourite one?

[05:36.48]I do,actually.It's one of the oldest one in my collection 3.

[05:42.73]It's from 1897,and it's a big black one with really sad eyes.

[05:49.81]It's so beautiful,it makes me want to cry-but in a good way.
