Went to METRO today, which is like the equiv of sam's club, but only in the sense that you can buy things in bulk and that they sold everything (altho way more options), because none of their things in bulk were actually cheaper...the hot and sour soup 3-pack i found was actually more expensive than buy 3 individually from the super market near our home...
This pseudo-Sams club also sold clothes of course, and even though I've pretty much given up on looking for clothes here, I was gonna buy one of those "oversized" Chinese sleeping shirts because it looked pretty big...then I decided to try it on the L size...well it was close, but good thing I tried it on because now I can go waste that 40 yuan on something else. Anyways, this made me wonder, where do the fat women in china buy their clothes? I mean I know in America they have the plus sized stores, but it's not exactly the same here...I think I saw an attempt at one a couple weeks ago in this huge mall (the first that I've seen of the many malls I've been to)...the store was called "Five Plus"...SIZE 5?! Maybe this explains why most of the fat women that I see on the subway are wearing overly tight tops...
Seriously, this sounds like another great business opportunity...I really should stop making these get rich ideas public. But at least youll know that 5 years from now, when there are stores all over China called "Western(s)ized", I thought of it first.
lol. i read this article about how there is a disproportionately small number of plus size clothing stores even in america compared to the percentage of obese people because they are notoriously hard to make clothes for since the larger you get, the more types of bodies there are. allll that extra fat has the potential to go to all different areas of the body.
ReplyDeletebut people in china are prob mostly just moderately overweight by american standards
