Singapore and Bangkok have good prices too, they don't have the overheads that we do in the West. Prices in USA are pretty good compared to Europe and Aussie though ... Where it can be double the price! I still have silk from Singapore which I may quilt one day..

I would have either bought another suitcase, or left my clothes behind!

I would have bought another suitcase in Kuwait but we were leaving for a safari in Tanzania and just couldnt handle another thing. Actually I did buy a small duffle bag at the souk and stuffed a few yards in! Your family will love Kuwait I think. I sure did!
