So this week I met up with Cloris at the mall, I told her earlier in the week about all the great sales that are going on and she couldn't resist checking them out :-) She got dropped off there and I met up with her after I got off work. You don't think about it until you go shopping and need to ask for something, but there are a ton of vocab words needed to describe a dress or ask for a certain style. This one's too long, I want something more casual, do you have anything less sparkly, haha. It's an adventure to go shopping in another language. I helped her out with some of the vocab for clothes at Wet Seal and she taught me most of the same words in Spanish.
We headed to Foot Locker to check out sneakers next. (Which prompted more vocab 'These are too tight' what's the 'final price after the sale.') She's a super quick shoe shopper, I spend weeks buying sneaker so I was quite impressed. She's definitely gotten more confident in usuing English, I was expecting to have to help her out a bit more with checking out and asking for different sizes, but she had it covered. I told here about my first experience shopping in Spain...my friend wanted to know what the return policy was, and I rattled off a question about the 'Policia de regreso' which equals 'return police' more or less, no dice, haha. She told me about the stores they have in Panama, mostly selling the same brands, but they're different chains. However they don't have a Coach store there and apparently Tallahassee does (who knew?) so she's excited about checking that out eventually.
