Did we mention we bought these symbolic T-shirts from Club Med Bintan Island Resort? We did that just before we left the resort. The souvenir shop in the resort sold all kinds of merchandise, from T-shirts, to towels, and bags and accessories. We bought these T-shirts since they had the words "Bintan Island", which would remind us that we had been to this resort, but it also had the numbers "45". The "45" symbolizes the 45th anniversary, which happened back in 1995. The T-shirts were so popular, even more popular than the 50th anniversary T-shirts, that they decided to continue printing "45" T-shirts. There is also an "88" version. It is used because "8" is an auspicious number for Asian countries. And auspicious things come in pairs as well, according to Chinese beliefs. Therefore the T-shirts with "45" and "88" were born, and continue to be sold throughout Asian Club Med Resorts.
