WINDOWS 98 BEAT HIS FRIEND WITH A SHOVEL

Sweet OP. You should put a disclaimer maybe that if you're planning on buying clothes or gear in country when you travel to Southeast Asia you will have to be on the lookout for fakes/knockoffs that will fall apart very quickly.

It was a real pain in the rear end for me to find a cheap and legitimate travel backpack last time I was in China, because of all the shoddy knockoffs going around.

Not only that, but a Singapore XXL t-shirt, the largest one sold, while reasonably priced, fit rather snugly across my US size M shoulders. You'll have to shop at rapper-clothes stores to cover a typically American-sized rear end in most of Asia.

Less a problem in tourist areas, but if you are shopping where the locals shop, be slight of frame, or make friends with a tailor.
