I'm so sorry there were no handsome attaches. But at least there were people to watch.
Brandon said EXACTLY the same thing about talking to people on OUR trip!!! He was in a dressing room at Marks and Spencers, and I was waiting outside, to see if he looked ok, and I started chatting to a very nice Indian man, who said he was just exhausted by shopping, and took the chair so he could sit down. I told him I loved shopping (I know you don't) and that I felt invigorated by the whole thing, like I'd just had a really good workout, and he said "Ah, well that's the ladies", and then a man chimed in, he was Chinese, I think, and said "I enjoy shopping and I could shop all day" and then another woman, waiting for HER husband (she had a lovely South African accent, and the most gorgeous bronze colored skin, I was totally jealous, she was absolutely stunning, and had on the prettiest coat I've ever seen- and I wanted to ask her where she got it, but the conversation kept racing along, and I didn't get the chance, and it probably doesn;t even come in my size because she was like a size one)anyway, she said "Oh God, I hate shopping, but if I don't go with him, he brings home the strangest things" or words to that effect. Anyway then my husband came out to show us his shirt and 5 people are looking at him, and the Indian man says "No, too tight" and Brandon gives me a dirty look, and I said "Well, let's see the next one" which the Indian man DID like, and so did the South African lady, and then HER husband came out, and his shirt looked good, we all agreed, so they left with the shirt, and then my husband came out again. and so on.
Anyway, I got a not very nice lecture, but I really liked the people. |
