So you weren't shopping for them for yourself then (not that there's anything wrong with that ). I can understand why your female co-workers were griping, though. My friends and I were doing the same griping (and we are all thin women by Western standards, just not 'Asian-sized').

Sounds like where I was living and working in Taiwan. Temps never really went below 8 or 9 Celcius so there was no indoor heating anywhere. At first, we couldn't understand everyone going around with mitts and scarves and big coats, clutching hot drinks and shivering.  After a while, though, you start to feel as though you just can't get warm.  |
