Ground Control to Major Tom!

Last week Caleb's glasses were broken and so we were on the hunt for some new specs. One thing about medical care in Asia is that normally you just ask for what you want and you get it with no middle man. Want an antibiotic? Just go to the pharmacy, pony up the cash and say, "One Z-Pack, please."

When Craig needed new contacts, he just took the old box to the store and they asked, "How many boxes you want?" No need to worry about RXs! So we were a bit surprised when the eyeglass store that was just set up in the mall center court had a real eye doctor ("real" at least to some degree).

When Caleb sat down the doc broke out these cool glasses that did the job of the big machine and we got to watch him manually preform the "Which one is better ... A or B? A or B? A or B?" test. Pretty exciting. Plus Caleb looked awesome in the glasses.

I thought we should just buy those glasses. Sort of like how everyone wants a pair of bowling shoes after rolling a few games. Those glasses would be the talk of the town! Very space age and futuristic!!
Instead we just settled on these which look the same as his old glasses, really. Nothing too ground-breaking but I guess that is OK for now.

Caleb's not admitting it, but you can see through people's clothes with the red ones.

Ah Glasses I guess you will have to wait for contacts. That could be a good thing...waiting.
