Chris has gone mad...

Though we are backpacking around the world, I fear Christopher Zimmerman has once and for all proved himself as an ultimate flashpacker! As if travelling with a netbook and iPod touch wasn't enough, Chris has now purchased FOUR tailor-fitted suits!! While unemployed without even a job to return to in which to wear them!

I must at this stage explain that we are currently in Hoi An, the tailor-made-suit capital of Vietnam and perhaps the world! Chris' four suits were bought with absolute bargainosity:

Charcoal grey suit to replace old one

Light grey, summer suit

THICK, woolen winter suit...for The Antartic!

And finally, a linen suit for - according to Chris - the beach!

He even chose a fab stylish autumnal jacket for an additional $28 which is fab fab fab...

I also decided to indulge in a spot of the old flashpacking, purchasing the following:

Two pairs of casual trousers for the trip, plus...

Autumn/Spring fitted and hooded jacket

Fitted but also flared grey Winter coat

A pair of tartan work trousers

Two suits copied from a Hugo Boss advertisement

So, mes petits Amis, though we will indeed be jobless AND homeless upon our return in august 2010, at least we'll look blinkin' smart!!

If you ever find yourself in this wonderous country of bargains and smiles, seriously consider hopping on over to this small (and also, incedentally, currently flooded!!) town with an empty suitcase and stocking up on a gazillion suits andspecial dresses modelled on any picture/designer you fancy!!!
