Funny Story

People don’t have the same sense of personal space here. I don’t mind, I actually really like it. And it makes for funny experiences. For example; the other day I was reading a book to practice French. The three kids of the household I am staying at (4-6 years younger than me, a boy and 2 girls) came up and sat in the chairs around me and turned on the television. They landed on a channel and were watching it while I tried intently to focus on my book. Since I cannot understand lightning-speed French, I was unaware what they were watching until I looked up to see a female torso spinning around, modeling extra supportive lingerie. Three kids staring intently at a bra infomercial seemed funny to me, but it seemed I was the only one. However, I now feel confident enough to discern between a flimsy bra and one with quality support!
