back in 2016 in Seam Reip, there was a shoe shop that sold either factory seconds (very minor defects in workmanship) , and/or shoes there was five finger discounted from the shoes factories there. I was able to get some decent keen brand water shoe, but other brands were available too (i think, Nike, Puma, etc). But yes, generally its hard to find 9+ sized shoes in SEA in general, so its best to bring them with you.

I always like the Aussie product shops here in PP - full of all those Anko products from K-Mart. Good bed sheets can be found in PP (in the malls), but much more expensive. I also found that after 16 years here, there is very little that I actually need from "back home", if there is such a place now.

I love hearing you talk about K mart. At one time in the USA there were over 2400 K mart stores. Now there are only 12. I did not realize they still exist in Australia. Good information about getting eyeglasses in Malaysia. Would be worth a trip there. I can see where a cordless vacuum would be great there. As always you provide great information!

Hi Claire and Jeremy. I live in Kampot and I feel lucky to have found a shop here that sells 100% hotel quality cotton sheets and pillow cases. 180x200 for only USD 15. I think they are made in Thailand. Homeware shop next to Heng Furniture shop near Samaki market.

Hi Jeremy & Claire 😊, welcome back to the Kingdom of Wonder 🙏, hope you had a nice visit back home , I have to admit , I'm no expert when it comes to armpits 😊, but if you're itching there , in this heat , not a good thing , in fact , if you are itching anywhere on your body , in this tropical climate , address the issue immediately 😊, I myself use the deodorant NIVEA , which I believe is a deodorant made for women , manufactured in Hamburg , but available all over Cambodia , been using it since 2016 , cost around $1.50 to $1.70 US , it's a roll on , white in color , never had a problem , Jeremy & Claire 😊, always a pleasure catching up with you both , and rumor has it , a get together may be in the works for the not too distant future 🤔, one can only hope 😊, take care , stay safe , and Jeremy , you be careful handling Mr. Rubby ! 🤣

@ForRiel Месяц назад

🤣 so good to see you, Brian! Funnily enough it was Nivea that set me off again recently. The rexona is nothing special but it hasn't given me the itches yet, so I'll keep using it. I think Mr Rubby is Jeremy's favourite possession 🤣🤣🤣

You are such a cute couple. Before coming, I watched a lot of videos that said - Not to worry, you can get everything here - But it's difficult to find things (even in the big mall), but especially since I walk and carry and it's soo hot ( I came in April!). Thanks for your informative and enjoyable videos. Also - Home and Hotel Supply has cotton sheets (300 thread count) for $15USD. I had to wash one a few times because it was kind of prickly, but they're nice old-fashioned thick.

But it's good you know you can get it all in the one shop. In Cambodia 🇰🇭 you have to go on a expedition for each item 😅

@cookietulis6252 Месяц назад

I don't see any Chicken Twisties!! K-Mart (and Target) in Oz have become staggeringly cheap. My Mrs bought a bunch of sandals in Target for $0.65 each. They were just clearing stock, I guess. Additionally, whilst not always the most fashionable, the t-shirts and jeans in K-mart are phenomenally priced - and they have big boy sizes. Funnily enough, we are planning a trip back to Cambodia to stock up on Kampot pepper and that awesome cherry infused coffee. We can't get either where we are.

@ForRiel Месяц назад

Kmart is SO good, and Target is pretty much Kmart these days. We brought a lot of this stuff back in a suitcase that we bought for $29. Crazy.

@FuzzyRogers7771 Месяц назад

Based on my personal experience since moving to Cambodia, I would suggest bringing some pants and shorts that are two sizes smaller than you normally wear because you WILL lose weight. All my pants are at least two sizes too small now and I will have to replace and alter what I brought! And it only took two months to lose about 25 lbs! It is very hot here and also your diet will change if you eat more local foods and it isn't the high carb diet that you have been used to.

@ForRiel Месяц назад

We must be doing something wrong! No weight loss over here 😭😔🙄

@ForRiel Месяц назад

Yes, suncream. Really good value at that size, and definitely worth bringing due to how expensive suncream is here. Locals tend to just cover up instead. Thanks for watching!

@Paristan01 Месяц назад

I couldn’t find a pumice stone when I was back there but I bought walking shoes because they are so comfortable and that is my favourite crocs style which I didn’t replace and my pair here broke 3 days after I got back from Australia. So that is on the list for next time. I also bought vitamins and electrolytes because I can’t stand Royal D and vitamins are mega expensive here. And hair colour that doesn’t have ammonia in it and yes, I brought back my favourite deodorant (Moogoo brand). The deodorants here smell atrocious and have the consistency of diluted honey. Although I have since found some nice natural ones locally made.

@ForRiel Месяц назад

I hate the way those Crocs just break with no warning whatsoever. 😭 I just love the style so much. The pumice we bought seems to be some weird reconstituted material that is half soap. I left it on the vanity overnight and by morning it was stuck fast. I had to soak it off. Next time I'll go for one of those long foot files instead. Hope you're going well!

Hi, love your vlogs. A couple of questions for you. I believe you said you brought 40 kilos of merchandise from Australia and Malaysia to Cambodia. I'm curious, did you ship the merchandise using your airline luggage allowance, or did you use boxes and ship as air cargo. My second question, did Cambodian Customs charge duty on the stuff you shipped. Thanks

Yes it was just our luggage allowance so no need for customs or anything like that. No additional charges as it's all for personal use.
