Tailor

In Kiev you can buy a suit on high street, prices start at 1500 euro. Or you go to the market in the eastern suburb. This is cosmopolis, with Chinese, Koreans, Vietnamese, Indians, Pakistanis and Ukranians. You buy a suit for 90 euro, and then they send you to the tailor who has a shop next to the market. Well, shop, it’s more like a shack with corrugated sheet metal on the roof, pallets, a door but no windows. No interior sectioning, no toilet, no nothing, just a sewing machine on a blank wooden table and a pair of scissors. He talks to the customers, she does the tailoring. Perfect job, five minutes, 7 Hryvnia which is 70 eurocents.
