Re: Where can I buy one of those quality Thai rain capes?
Well I was going to try to make something funny up, but I don't think I need to.
It sells bed linen. Well more like bed plastic than linen. You know, the stuff with garrish flowers all over it.
About half way down the far right of Orrusey, ground floor, on the right.
Next time UT, just say, "Cambodia".

Russian market, North side, behind all the food stalls...ask a local for misdirections

That's actually a line call. The time it takes following misdirections, as opposed to the time it takes walking up and down the five laneways while responding to every single "sir? what you look for? I have it?"... if I'm looking for interaction, I go for the first and enjoy the time spent, if I'm not in the mood I go for the second.

I like when you tell them what you want / show them a picture on your phone, then they get you to wait 10-15 minutes while they disappear to buy it from another stall and then return and sell it to you for double the price. Which admittedly is still cheap(ish) and easier than trying to find it yourself.StroppyChops wrote: ↑Thu Jun 01, 2017 12:26 pm "sir? what you look for?

... or when tell them you want a specific tool and show them a photo - "I have, I have! at my other store!" - and return with a potato. And expect you to buy the potato.timmydownawell wrote: ↑Thu Jun 01, 2017 4:15 pmI like when you tell them what you want / show them a picture on your phone, then they get you to wait 10-15 minutes while they disappear to buy it from another stall and then return and sell it to you for double the price.

Re: Where can I buy one of those quality Thai rain capes?
back in the day (mid 60s) I had a rubberized cloth one, heavy bugger but man it lasted. Til it got stiff and started cracking. Recently (maybe 10 yrs ago) I found a newer version with a good quality nylon like weave with rubberized outside. That started flaking off in not so many years. Perhaps a cheap ass one you replace every year or so would be ok. I am inspired to look online for a decent one, I'd start at Amazon but probably all I'd find is that cheap crap at the market marked up three time in price. As I recall the rain poncho turned out to be a pain in the ass, floppy, getting in the way and such.
