Shopping in ancient societies

Shopping can be traced back to many civilisations in history. In ancient Rome, there was Trajan's Market with tabernas that served as retailing units. Shopping lists are known to be used by Romans as one was discovered by Hadrian's wall dated back to 75-125 AD and written for a soldier.

When do you start shopping for your kids clothes from the adult section?
Q. My eldest daughter is 13, almost 14 and just started 9th grade. I still shop for her from the girls section. When I saw her new friends today, they dress like 20 yr olds! Aren't 13-14yr olds still little girls? I don't want her to get influenced by them and dress like a 20yr old. What is the appropriate age for kids to start shopping from the adults section? I thought it to be around 16-17?

A. At the age of thirteen or fourteen they shouldn't be aloud to only shop at little girls stores, as they technically aren't 'kids' anymore. No matter how much you wish or hope to believe that they are, they aren't. Reality is now a factor and most kids around that age do dress far to old for how they should be dressing. Though- that doesn't mean you should restrict your daughter from shopping at all the trendy teenage stores if that's what she prefers or if shes willing to pay with her own money. At thirteen or fourteen I wouldn't necessarily go out and take her to high fashion adult stores but you could start showing her the juniors and teenage sections by now. Keep in mind- this is my own opinion and it's truly up to you and your daughter… [cont.]

A. i believe that the food will be cheaper. maybe 20cent less..depends on where you go... the food in KL are quite expensive as there's many foreigners and tourists so they tend to be a little more expensive at times. if you're asking about other objects, the prices will be pretty much the same...and again, the price varies from place to place depending on the popularity of the place. :)
