Nice advice,
tintin
However, If you look again, you'll see that I said
...before you walk out the door...
A subtle difference, wouldn't you agree? (
If you see my point.)
Look even closer and I
think I suggested something like this, too...
The reason Balinese in general do not wear glasses is not because they have particular good eyesights, but rather because they can't afford them.
Am I wrong but did you post the same thing twice, or am I seeing double?
Maybe you shouldn't have given away all those cheap US drug-store glasses - kept some for yourself.
Are you
really sure those villagers are still using them for something other than starting fires with?
When was the last time you checked your prescription, (for your eyes, I mean)?
I just hope that
davidbee has got the answer to his original question and we haven't freaked the guy out,
too much.
As for
Jimbo - Has he actually lived
in Bali? Maybe I can't see the wood for the trees but it seems to me his 27 years of good value glasses in Indonesia could have been flukes. That's fine and good luck. But if you've been living and working in weird desert places like "Boratville" much of your life, you're bound to get both sand in your eyes and scratched lenses.
I saw the light once, when I was a bored-again Christian.
My
good glasses helped me get over it.
