Shopping!
Boys often laugh at girls that they shop for so long. Well, in some cases I feel that boys are even worse.I realized that I'm missing so many clothing for spring and summer – shoes, shorts and swim suit. Thus, we went shopping yesterday.
First, we started with the shoes. It is somewhat ironic than in the first store they had so many different types of trek shoes, but neither of them fit. In contrast, in the second store there were only two pairs of shoes I liked and guess what – both of them did fit. Thus, the situation changed from which of the enormous amount of shoes I haven't tried yet to which of the two pairs should I choose. And yeah, there is a happy ending – I finally bought a pair.
The second task was to find the swim suit. Canadians are not as crazy as Californians meaning that they won't forbid you to wear the European bath suit, but they will look strangely at you. It's funny how people from different parts of the world perceive this differently. I've heard about an American who was studying in France. Once he decided to go to a swimming pool. However, they forbid him to wear swim suit with long pant legs, so he had to wear to European one instead. He said he felt like naked.
Buying the swim suit and the shorts was a lot easier than to buy the shoes. I just picked one, tried it on, realised that it fits and bought it. In fact, the merchant in the store where I bought the shoes said exactly the same – it took him so long to select shoes, but he had no problems with buying clothes.
Do you also have the crazy iracional feeling after you bought something that you should have bought the different thing? It actually seems like everybody has that.
Now I'm enjoying the precious opportunity that in Canada you can return the stuff you bought. Maybe it's possible in the Czech Republic as well, but I've never seen anybody going back to a mall with a shampoo saying "I want the money back" and they accepted it without hesitation and didn't even ask what is the reason nor whether the shampoo was used. So now I'm wearing the shoes and the shorts and it looks like I'm not gonna give them back.

I have similar problems with stuff I buy but no thing's perfect. I often realize that the I'm just making those problems up and suddenly, there's no problem at all.

Yeah, it's like in 90% of the cases the problem is only in your head
