You can post your questions and e-mail. I will not publish people's emails and personal questions in the public comment section. <br /><br />Chinese clothing and shoes do not often match western fashion taste. Plus they don't always fit. My sitemate who is quite tall has bought very very few pieces of clothing in China. She has never bought shoes. Also, she doesn't get clothing tailor made.<br /><br />After living in China for two years, we have learned how to wear the same outfits over and over again in the same week like our Chinese teacher counterparts and students who only have maybe 1 or 2 outfits that they wear all week.王美安https://www.blogger.com/profile/13984871818839561152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27534975.post-56179117161140986542010-04-04T00:32:23.549+08:002010-04-04T00:32:23.549+08:00Hi!

Most of the blogs I'm following that update regularly are men, so they haven't really touched on the clothing issue.<br /><br />I was worried about finding clothes since I am an average sized American woman. I'd heard about tailoring things, but was worried about the price of that (since here it would be exorbitant to have clothes custom made.)<br /><br />So basically, I was glad to see this post. It put one (of several) small nagging worries aside.<br /><br />Please keep writing, your journal is in-depth, genuine, and very helpful to all us future PCVs.<br /><br />AliciaAlicia Sartorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01818500074931873200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27534975.post-35103095691675423192010-04-03T18:49:17.873+08:002010-04-03T18:49:17.873+08:00I found a tailor who would make a simple skirt for...I found a tailor who would make a simple skirt for 30 RMB ($4.50)王美安https://www.blogger.com/profile/13984871818839561152noreply@blogger.com
