Anything can be fixed in Ecuador!

Okay, so this isn't service related, but it's yet another reason why I love it here.  I had COMPLETELY ruined two pairs of shoes because I walk so much here.  I had some crocs that I wore through... you could put your finger through the hole.  Also, I had a pair of dress shoes and the heel had separated from the sole.  I figured, it's impossible to find shoes in my size here, so I'll try to get them fixed.  I also took three skirts with broken zippers, three skirts that needed to be hemmed, and the buckle on my leather service bag had busted due to the weight of the Chinese Pinyin Bible and needed to be fixed.  Guess how much it cost me to get them all fixed like new? $20!!!  I feel like I have a new wardrobe :o)  It's the little joys in life, right?

  1. I enjoyed this post so much. Here in the US, it is so frustrating because you can't get anything fixed! You are told: it's just cheaper to buy a new one, or it's not worth fixing.

    I hate throwing something out the first time some little thing on it breaks.

    I am Elsie and hannah's aunt, BTW, and am having a good time reading through your posts!
