how big is her hip circumference
yesterday was actually good! and the evening was funny too! the highlight was Caroline! I went to say night night to the other, I could hear her but not see her! turns out as I got to the kitchen she was sat in a little closet, next to the kitchen skipping her family! (sorry Caroline you made my yesterday) really did make me laugh! im quite lucky as im in a room on my own, but the others are sharing so they have little privacy! its understandable she would like to speak to her family alone it was just where she was sat and it was just something that i wish I had had my camera out to film! well today has been interesting!! been at the company again. so up at stupidly early 6.30am as usual! Went in today, and our task for the day was to create 3 waist coats, he also said something about them being special but im not sure what he meant, as things get lost in translation frequently here!!! so throughout the day I have been drawing waistcoats on illustrator, we also had out dinner at our favourite cafe as usual! our boss joined us too! it was good! we talked about the company and we asked him some questions, they are looking to open 50 stores around china within the next 12 months, then in about 2 years time they are hoping to go global, and maybe to england!!! we have also been invited to their fashion show on the 9th may!! (this maybe the wrong date iv got a terrible memory at the min!) They are inviting all the business people around Ningbo and from Shanghai to see how the company is growing and to show one of its collections off on the cat walk!! I have no idea what we will be doing a yet, but im sort of hoping it involving the models we have been choosing today ;)! it could be an interesting day! its strange that when you in this country, the minute you see someone who is not chinese you just have want to go and speak to them! so like most of the chinese people stop and stare at us, the min we see someone from another country we are the same! it seems to become a novelty over here! We have also taken to waving at anyone who is sat staring at us! this sometimes turns into the starer bursting into excitement and phoning there friends, standing as close as possible to you, and this could be at a bus stop with 20 people yet they will all decide to try and stand next to you or they could just say hello back! it just depends on who it is. its going to be strange going back to England and not being stared at!!!! anyway back to the company! today I did 6 designs because I had finished way before I had needed to! most of the time no-one really checks them! I take it that at the end of the week, they will check them all together and decide if they want any of them in the collection! I do really enjoy it, also we have been given more freedom, so we are not just coping now! we are designing from scratch! its so strange to think my designs will be sold in their store next year!! its so exciting :)!!!!! OH also iv better explain the title of this! well I got a message over QQ asking what was car, roldes hip circumference, as you can tell it was a guess that the translation meant caroline, so we measured her, turns out tom and jerry had never seen such a big hip circumference as Carolines before! this then led onto other awkward questions such as bust, and waist.... these men are not afraid to ask unsuitable questions at all!!! Also there is a chinese girl there called Sue, she so sweet!!! but also a little strange, she will all of a sudden pop her head around the computer screen whisper to you that you have beautiful eyes or hair or face or skin, the possibilities are endless... she also has an obsession with hair, today I was given something which you would describe as a plate but it was stuck on the side of my head... I took it down rather quickly an said tomorrow she can plat my hair instead, which should be interesting. she also has a thing about going to the toilet in a group, so if you need to go she tags along too, as sweet as she is and she really is so cute! she's a little strange too until you get to know her! When we finally got home at 9pm! (1 hour bus journey home at that time is painstaking!) we went for our chicken burgers (this has been our source of english food since the first week, it is now getting tiering) when we eventually got back to the rooms it was time to ring my mum!!! :)!!! been talking to her while I was writing this! they have loved it! not! its now 11.37 here! so iv better go to bed! night for now! another post coming soon! thanks for the views people :)!!
