 |
|
So I'm going home soon, and thinking I might take a detour to Hong Kong. The additional airfare (over just going straight home. A bit less if I route through Helsinki) would cost me about $500.
1. How much would it cost me to stay in HK for 6 days?
2. Is it worth it? (I've always wanted to see HK, but I don't know why.)
3. If I do go to Hong Kong, what should I do, besides wander around the old town and buy stuff?
4. Can I get a tailored suit made in six days (I'm fat, and don't like the way the pre-made ones fit)? And how much would it cost?
Thanks,
HK |

That's not the point. The point is that if I look for a job teaching adults, I want to look professional. The suits that I can find billow out in the back and look really absurd.

Ridiculous. A good tailor will be able to create something to 'suit' your proportions. Why would a customized suit make you look worse than an off the rack suit? If you cant get the suit made in 6 days the tailor will mail it out to you. |

This. Ignore Marklong, a good suit can make anyone look good. |

Especially bigger-than-average folks. |
