New Teva's

I have new Tevas, they look like this: i haven't got a photo yet as the battery has run out on the camera and i forgot to charge it...

I am just glad to have new Sandals that won't be falling of my feet any time soon. 

As a kid i'd always take my new shoes to bed with me...i'm not too sure why but i guess i thought it was pretty cool that they are so clean and new you can take them to bed with you....needless to say i didn't take my Teva's to bed with me....as i wore them as soon as i (tom) paid for them!

The woman in the shoe said that i must have worn the last pair everyday...well she's right i guess. She also said i have very long narrow feet...ok they are narrow but the length is average in the UK...in Taiwan however it's the size of mens shoes! great huh. 

If i had to name just one thing i hate about living in asian its feeling so darn huge all the time (there are way more than just one but this it at the top of my list!). Everything i buy is XL or XXL in some cases..when to get a swimming costume and the woman looked me up and down and said XL maybe XXL!..it makes me sick. 

I therefore avoid buying any clothes as its just so embarrassing, and make me feel rubbish for the whole day. I'm just glad that i am too busy to think about what it mean and not to panic about the fact that everyone sees me as huge here, also i feel so bad for other westerners here that are bigger than me as i am sure they feel just as bad about themselves. I also console myself in the fact that its genetics oh and the diet your mother fed you as a kid! yep when in doubt blame your parents!
