Lost in Translation

I mentioned earlier that we had a little snafu with Gavin's work shirts. After spending time picking out what ones he wanted to take on the trip, they got left hanging in the closet at home. Fortunately, he had packed a couple in the carry on in case his luggage got lost. We went out one night after work to buy him some more.
However, the measurements are done a little differently out here. They have the same neck sizes, but instead of arm lengths, they have chest width. In centimeters. Let's just say we estimated wrong.
What's really funny is a couple of the shirts we got fit perfectly and a couple are huge, like this. We thought we were getting the same size on all of them...

Haha...the puffy shirt look is in now. You could be a pirate!

Tracy, have you been able to find Orange Kit Kats over there? I hear that they are a normal flavor (flavour?) there.

Is that a water bottle in the background? Hope Dster doesn't see it.

You look nice in that shirt.

Maybe that is the style over there. I hope not!
