Ok, for those that are interested, I got a decent Taiwanese rain cape from Orrusey market.

Take note UT, here's how to give directions :whip:
Looking at the front entrance to the market, there are 4 large.white Grecian pillars on the right hand side, go into the entrance between the two further most pillars on the right, and walk apprx half way down till you see a stall selling ***********. They have them there for $5.

Can anyone guess what else the store sells apart from high quality rain capes, which btw aren't on display?

UT?

Buy one of the olive drab military ponchos, available in most local markets and the military surplus market out towards Pochentong. Bit pricier but great for keeping dry.

I think they may be a copy of those. It immediately reminded me of the ex-millitary one I bought in Kampot market 11 years ago. Funnily enough, it was also 5 dollah.

It was a fairly safe bet.

Take note JSP, you bought it at Orrusey market.


:hattip:
You're welcome.



Got no idea what else they sell, but let me guess. Umbrellas? Gumboots/Wellies? (No? I didn't think so either)

Knowing Cambodia the shop will be selling something completely unrelated, so I'm guessing hair supplies.

Rope, used televisions, or incense.
