I'm average height and average shoe size and slender in America, but in Japan I felt like a big fat freak who couldn't buy shoes :) <br /><br />Moving to New York from Osaka was amazing--all of a sudden nobody looked at me twice anywhere I went, and I could buy clothes and shoes again! <br /><br />Unfortunately I was also shocked at how many overweight people there were in the States--and I don't just mean fat, I mean there are some people here that will make your jaw drop. It's really sad.<br /><br />Enjoy the feeling, and carry it with you back to China--you're beautiful exactly the way you are, you're just not Chinese :)tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17485702185807050956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491088023973371313.post-32544761797778575852009-07-03T20:42:26.352+08:002009-07-03T20:42:26.352+08:00Size 39 shoes?

Keep up the work out regime! <br /><br />Kanmuri -Soon, soon you can blend in too. It is absolutely lovely yes!<br /><br />Pete -yeah, some days the staring and pointing doesn't bother me but then there are bad days... ehhhhh.

To me, you'll always be too bulky, muscular and butch.<br /><br />Heh.<br /><br />I was told by an ex classmate who was from Germany that Scandanavians were the biggest of all Europeans. Back in the days of the Vikings, if you saw the big bastards, you ran like hell!<br /><br />No wonder you're such a giantess J.<br /><br />To make you feel better, just remember that no matter how fat you are told you are, I will always be fatter.

It must be like a form of torture after awhile if your laughed at everytime you go out. I laughed a bit at this posting not at you but, because of the fact we as people like to have our individuality accentuated in one form or another but, because of your curcumstances the opposite is now sought. This really is a vacation for you I see that happening inside & out!

I am still working on the abs . my dream is to have a 6 pack. not quite there yet, but eventually it will(i hope)<br />cheersjohnnie limhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00288534127132391855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491088023973371313.post-64871944015140635702009-07-02T13:27:28.440+08:002009-07-02T13:27:28.440+08:00Must have been nice!
