Take $2000, and 7 days. Buy a round trip ticket to Shanghai, China. Spend half the money on the air fare.

When you arrive in China, go to the Everbright Hotel in Xujiahui - VERY nice hotel, around $40 a night for a comfortable room.

The next day, got to stall 48, second floor, Xiang Yang Market (461 Jin Hui Lu). Get measured, choose out the fabrics you want, deposit $250 (you’re going to get 5 suits and shirts, right?).

Go spend a few days exploring China. WONDERFUL real massages - by professionals, what you’d get in upscale spas in the US - for only $10 an hour. Get your hair washed - it’s a $1.25 for a 50 minute procedure, which includes the shampooing, a 25 minute scalp massage, a 15 minute neck and arm massage, and styling.

Then go explore Shanghai. $50 a day will go a LONG way. The Brazilian BBQ place across from the market where you’re getting your suits is phenomenal - all you can eat of some AMAZING cuts of meat for around $8.

After 4 days, go back for your trial fit. Then return 2 days later, pay your other $250, and take your 5 tailored silk or wool or linen suits and linen or silk shirts home...:)

MUCH better than the Sears suits, good prices, and a great vacation in a very cosmopolitan, modern city...:)

Well, nice... Teacher's pet when you were younger, right? LOL. Next you will be spiling the beans about the $200 caps you can get at Bumrunrat in Bangkok, with one Dentist and two assistants dedicated to only you. Posts lke this do no good, only makes the proletariat wonder about the benefits of free trade and socialized medicine, and, mark my words, wonder why one would act so Un-American. Then the disparagement begins.
