Went to a “Christmas market” at Westgate shopping mal today with a gang of girls from the boarding today. We went mostly just because we needed to get away from the boarding and I also needed to fix a pair of new running trousers and also felt it was time to start looking at Christmas presents. To go to shopping malls are for us a luxury because they are the closest things to Swedish shops there are here in Kenya. But still some things differ.
One thing is sizes on clothes in the stores. Of some reason the storeowners believe that everyone who can afford to buy their clothes in nicer shops are fat. Even when I went into the sport stores the only sizes they have are XL or XXL. L, M or S does not exist. I searched in the Nike store, the Adidas store and even at Nakumat but no smaller sizes was to be found anywhere; I’ll have to train in broken pants from now on.
But I did find two Christmas gifts and also a laundry basket (I’ve been keeping my dirty clothes in my suitcase since I got here and that is a bit nasty I think).
