060112 My Oakey sunglasses, you get what you pay for
One of the things that is cheap overseas is sunglasses. But then again, are they really? I bought my first set of 'haji' sunglasses a few weeks back and I was 'guaranteed' that they were genuine. Of course Oakley sunglasses do not go by the brand name of 'Oakey' so that was a tip off but I bit anyway (first pair $25.) Anyway, within a week the cheapo nose piece fell off and I finally got a chance to go back to the bazaar and for only $10, I bought a replacement. I bit again and wasn't more than 10 feet away when a lense fell out of that pair. So I went back for a third and ended up with the sunglasses above. Now I got to go back to the office and 'pay' more in further humiliation. Evidently haji sunglasses go for only $7! Eh, you get what you pay for.
