I definitely appreciate the frequent readers and the feedback that I get on my blog. I don't really write it for notoriety, but rather to entertain and not feel so distant from the Western World. An occasional headshake in disbelief or an actual laugh out loud are added bonuses. Please continue to enjoy.

Teacher, You're So Skinny

The weather has changed and so has my general apparel when dressing for work.  Instead of the usual skinny merino wool sweater over a button-up shirt, I'm sporting a variety of vests that I purchased over here.  The first day I donned one, one of my older elementary students walks in the room and goes "Teacher, you're so skinny? When did you get so skinny?"

Yes the change happened overnight haha.  But it got me thinking.  It is easier to buy clothes over here.  Take my vest for example.  I had to buy a medium.  It fits beautiful.  It doesn't have extra fabric flapping around.  I don't really think about size, I wouldn't care if I had to buy an XL as long as it fit right.  What I have a problem with is the growing trend in the US that I'll buy a S and the darn thing still doesn't fit.
