I had two weeks to plan for vacation and one of my biggest concerns was finding vacation clothes. Mainly, I needed a swimsuit and shorts. And while this isn’t a concern in many places in the world, in Korea, they just don’t carry my size.
So, I buckled down and went online to use what I think must be the worst-designed site on the internet: Gmarket. Go there (unless you have epilepsy… seriously); try to buy something. If you can actually find what you’re looking for and make it to the payment section without gouging your eyes out, then you have my eternal praise.
When I ordered, I was sure to order XL in everything knowing that it would probably be smaller than what I find in America. I was right, but I didn’t anticipate being this right.
Black pants, America: size L.
Grey shorts, Korea: size XL.
I understand that Koreans have smaller waists than Americans (everyone has smaller waists than Americans), but in what universe can these shorts be described as an XL…
