Returning Home to Malaysia from Tatarstan, Russia
I made my way home on the 11th January 2006 after spending many wonderful days in Tatarstan, Russia with my lady. On the way home, I took the Kazan-Frankfurt-Bangkok-KL flight. You may notice that the people who actually shop in the Duty free of Frankfurt airport & probably other European countries too are a rich bunch of folks.
They are either from Europe themselves, or from Japan, rich Arabs & Asians, & etc. Now that I recall it, I even asked how much it would cost me to have my watch fixed to fit my wrist on my way home to Malaysia from Tatarstan, Russia at Frankfurt airport.
The lady at the duty free watch shop answered nonchalantly “14 Euros”. I was flabbergasted, :O thanked her & walked away from the shop. The fee charged to do a simple task was unbelievable & outright ridiculous, in my opinion. I later had my watch done in a Malaysian watch shop at the Ampang Spectrum shopping mall for a few Ringgit which adds up to around 1 Euros. Lol
