Went shopping for some shorts today and I just had to take a picture of the tag:
In case you can't read it the tag says:
Size: EUR: L - ASIA: 3XL
Wow, I'm a XXXL in Asian size. *sigh*
So at what point in time did a European large become the same size as XXXL in Asia? Have we in the West been gradually increasing the size label on clothes? Would an ‘XL’ from the 1950s be a size ‘M’ now?
Anyway, what a downer.

In 2006 I moved to Qatar and things are not what many people in North America would expect - it is not like how the Middle East is portrayed in the media. I'm also a fan of skepticism and science so wondered how this works here in Qatar. Since I'm here for a while I figured I'd use the time to get to know this country better and with this blog you can learn along with me. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - So what posts have been popular recently . . .

Don't sweat it Glen. It only becomes a problem if the only thing you find that fits comfortably is a moo moo.

You making fun of my flannel moomoo? :)
