shopping tips
Take off your shoes before stepping
into the dressing rooms. ■ Bring your
passport so sales clerks can fi ll out the
tax-free voucher. ■ Don’t get discour-
aged if you see only size 0—additional
sizes are kept in the back, so be sure
to ask. ■ Be patient—it’s a process!
In most stores, they will point out the
price and wait for your approval, wrap
each item individually in paper, put
everything in a bag, walk it to the front
door, bow, and hand you your bag.
