While shopping for some semi-dressy black shoes in Ripley’s department store in Miraflores, an upscale neighborhood in Lima, I was sort of amused when the sales person showed me a pair of leather shoes that were in made in Thailand. Shaking my head (and barely be unable to contain my laughter), he proceeded to show me a pair of shoes made in India and China. It was then that I told the young man, that I preferred to buy some shoes that were made in South America, preferably Peru or Colombia.

Bottom line, I ended up buying a relatively comfortable pair of shoes made in Peru, I don’t know if I got deal or not, but the shoes cost me all of 219 soles (or about $68 USD). Oh well…
