Let's see if we have your size, sir. |
Then the two American volunteers got involved. "Let's meet!" they cried. They grasped my hand for a "unity moment", before declaring where they were going with this. "I'm thinking ..." murmered Gina, "we could have a viewing area here, soften that ugly corner with that banner, stack boxes verticle below eye level, sorted individually in rows by size, style and colour, under a table, perhaps -- can we get some more tables? -- or maybe... " They were going quite a long way with this, it seemed. I scolded myself for my lack of vision.
An hour after we'd opened for Lao business, shirts were scattered to the dusty winds, boxes thoroughly rummaged. But they were selling fast, and I had learnt another Lao lesson. When shifting T-shirts at a stall in South East Asia, a lack of vision can be a good thing.
