Browsing in Banana Republic, a label on a nice cotton tee-shirt. caught my eye..."Made in Cambodia," it proudly declared.
A strangely pleasant event. When I lived in Cambodia, I played soccer with a manager at a garment. Garment jobs are considered to be excellent, well-paying jobs in Cambodia, though there is a risk of injury.
I didn't buy the tee-shirt. It was too big.
Loisaida is a term derived from the Latino (and especially Puerto Rican) pronunciation of "Lower East Side", a neighborhood in Manhattan, New York City. Loisaida Avenue is now an alternate name for Avenue C in the Alphabet City neighborhood of New York City, whose population has largely been Hispanic (mainly Puerto Rican) since the late 1960s.
