    Can't beat that price, Sean! I'm sure they don't make much profit. Plus, if those stuff lasts a couple years, they are still worth it.

      I thought the prices were more than fair, so I was happy to pay what they asked for. The quality is definitely there and if I get a few years out of all of it, then that is a win for sure.

      I found out that I was wrong about it being fake leather. The bag is actually leather, so it was a much better deal than I originally thought. Yay.

      She was amazing and there was no way that I wasn't going to buy things from her. It's that touch of customer service that means the world to me. Plus she was joking around with me. I had the best shopping experience thanks to her.

    Hmm most sellers do have a measurement tape because all the confusions with sizes.
    You have asian size- european size -u.k size -american /canadian size and often are the really mixed up both in clothes and shoes.
    Most sellerknow of where there are a cheap market seamstress that can adjust sizes to perfect for pennys.
    Well that's the system in Thailand Lao and Vietnam, myanmar and indonesia so i presume it's the same in Cambodia ;)
    So the myth that "there are no clothes for westerners" are now pretty...mythbusted =)

    • @FrugalWanderer
      @FrugalWanderer  29 днів тому +5

      The sizes are a bit different for sure. The shorts were all 35 inch waist, but considerably smaller than the 36 from Canada. I still need to lose a little more to fit comfortably into them. I bought some shorts here in Phnom Penh last night at a market and they were size 36. They fit perfectly. So I guess I'm still a 36 after all. Haha.
      Yeah. The myth about not having western sizes in Cambodia is just a myth. It's busted completely for me. Haha

      I agree. I didn't bring a ton of clothes with me, but the quality of the clothing I've gotten here is way better than what I got back home. So it's cheaper and better quality. Yeah. I made the right decision to move over here. Haha

      Laughter has always been a part of my life and I grew up surrounded by folks with a great sense of humour. I realized young that the people who laughed the most stayed alive the longest. I try to emulate that in myself everyday.

      I think Canadians and Cambodians have that in common. We are always cracking jokes back home. It's like we either have to laugh or cry with life, and we choose to laugh. I prefer it to be honest. Haha

      They absolutely do, but I destroyed a pair of shorts while I was away. I decided to see about getting some new shirts at the local market. I didn't think I would have any luck, but I ended up having better luck than I expected. It was a lot of fun too.
