Yesterday we had quite an adventure. Nova took us coat shopping. Apparently come November the temperature will be dropping into the single digits and now is the time to buy coats. It was slightly horrifying trying to wade through all the junk but I do think we did come out with some decent ones that don't look TOO ridiculous (who knew I didn't have the same style sense as the Chinese?). After we successfully found the coats we thought it might be a good idea to look for some boots. This is where it gets funny. So for all of you who don't know I have freakishly long feet for my height (thank you mother!) and for a history lesson the Chinese like small feet so much that they used to wrap their feet to stop them from growing. Well, we find a pair that might work and Nova tells me to try them on. I begin to protest that I'll need a bigger size but she insists and says she knows my size. To my surprise it did go on my foot! To everyone else's dismay it soon cuts off my circulation to said foot. I then asked for the next size and the saleslady has a cow! That is the largest size they have--that ANYONE has. Ha! Ha ha! Oh ha!! Sigh, well fortunately my feet do seem to like being cold. They aren't called the "Heat Reapers" for nothing!
