it must have been late 1990 or probably early 1991.
i was in gay paris with my mrs, attending a cardiological conference.

took a short break to go 'shopping' for some branded bow ties and a couple of ysl shirts at 316, rue saint honore.
met wawi, [ we did housemanship same year in ghkl in 1978 ], and her husband, the then minister of education in the same store..

they were in paris for some unesco things.

she carried the same small shopping  basket as my wife....and noticeably with less shirts in there! 
our ringgit malaysia was already shrinking against the franc, even then!

across the english channel around the same time, harrod of london opened up late evening just specially for madame of the then minister of defence.
madame was on a shopping spree!

he was on a 'look & see' trip, 'chopping' for  a couple of submarines for the country.
2 decades later he was numero uno.....
