Made in cambodia..,...,

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Made in cambodia..,...,

Post by Beerinthemorning »

So i walked into a ralph lauren store today in Shinjuku, Tokyo and inquired about the price of hats, the particular hat i wanted to buy would sell for approx 3500 yen in OZ is being sold for 7000+ yax in Tokyo.

I asked the lady how come the same product is double the price in your country?

She held her nose high and sayed "made in Japan"

Then i took a closer look and this is what i saw.

Economic Exploitation and a huge rip off as 7000 yen is easily half a months wage in a garmet factory in cambodia......

Is there a factory that makes Lexus cars in Cambodia yet. ?

Maybe next year.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.
