A Chinese lady is going to help me find a job!

We made it to Chiang Mai safe and sound today.
And one of the first things we did after checking in was find a tailor.
Which wasn't hard considering they're on every corner here.

The thing is, I'm a planner. I like to think ahead.
And yes, I still have a month or so before I'm in San Francisco, ready to face the "real world,"
but I have to prepare for possible job interviews, people!
And since I've sold everything but a suitcase full of clothes that I now hate,
I thought I should take advantage of these custom-made suits at a discounted price to bring back with me for job time!

We went to three different tailors to compare prices, and this little Chinese owned shop won the race!
With her Asian mask intact, she whipped out her measuring tape and went to work.
She so graciously lent me a pair of linen blue pants to put on while she measured my crotchal region and bum size (to which I quickly averted my eyes, because I do not want to know the size of that rump, thank you very much).

Tomorrow I go in for my first fitting, then I have a second and lastly, a third!
They work so quickly too, because the whole process should only take about three days.
In total, for a suit jacket plus pants, custom fit for your bodacious bod, it only came to about $130.
In the past, I've normally bought my work clothes from Victoria's Secret or Express and those jackets normally cost me $100 alone!
Plus the pants are usually too long because of my unfortunate stumpy Asian legs, and then my butt is normally too big, so it just comes out pretty awkward at times, you know?

Anyway, I'm hoping that this turns out as well as I'm hoping.

I'm also hoping that the phone interview I have scheduled for tomorrow goes well too.
{sigh...can't I just be a world traveler forever?}

Wish me luck.

xoxo
