Train of thought...

Today I looked at one of my co-worker's coats and remarked to myself what a lovely coat it was. This led me to think that I should really go shopping and upgrade my own wardrobe a little. Which led me to think how I hate shopping for clothes, especially in Korea where the average young lady is fantastically slim, making it difficult to find non-ugly clothes that fit. Which reminded me of a very positive shopping experience I had in Seoul recently. I wanted to try on something, whereupon the girls working in the shop looked me up and down and said "Ah, gla-muh si-jee". This is Konglish for "Ah, glamour size." I dunno about other full-figured ladies out there, but I think that's the loveliest euphemism I've ever heard! Those snobby, scrawny girls working in the boutiques in Montreal could surely take a lesson from these girls.
