am having glasses made in bali and look forward to buying lots of sunnies as well.....probably a silly question but want to be prepared can you buy glasses cords or chains at the optometrists? thanks forumites, your infomation over the last few months has been invaluable. we leave sat 8th and have ummed and ahhed a bit over the last week, but have decided to go ahead with our journey to the land of smiles and enjoy our 2 week sojourn, hopefully the first of many visits. cheers kim
