Magnetic snowflakes

[Chapter: Living]

It was probably the third time that I got off from my seat and roamed around the duty free shop that I stumbled upon magnetic building sets and that occured while waiting in transit (for many hours!) in Doha airport in Qatar some 3 years ago. Since then, my level of interest for magnets has multiplied.

Not only can the rods and bearings be turned into complex 3-D structures such as a ferris wheel, helicopter, rocket ship or even the Effiel Tower, it’s also perfect for much much simpler designs. These magnets do come in metallic pastel pink, blue and even lilac.

Playing with magnetic attraction is fun. I constantly use 2 like poles to pursue one another or force them to attract.
