Shalwar Kameez OMG

[osprey_archer]

I just got the best present ever! My friend Tasmia brought me back a shalwar kameez from Bangladesh! It's blue and green and it has an accompanying scarf and is WONDERFUL.

Unfortunately it's going to be about five degrees tomorrow and I would freeze, but otherwise I would totally wear it to class tomorrow.

Also, I have a new job: helping out at the ESL class for the Japanese exchange students. They have this great habit - every time they aren't quite sure how to say what they want to in English - of saying "Oooooooooooooo" in the appropriate intonation: admiring, happy, commiserating, whatever. If I ever get to Russia I must remember this trick.

So lucky! I want one of those.

Take pics when you do wear it?

Also, your remark about the ESL class reminded me of this entry (http://shikuchi.livejournal.com/137497.html) ** of shikuchi's.

**(... which I hesitate to call attention to because of, as she puts it, the racefaily element, but if you ignore his fake Japanese accent...........)

I will! It is adorable.

The fake Japanese accent is kind of weird, but his costar is adorable. I love the shot where she gets all up in the camera about how her next door neighbor is PREGNANT and she's not even MARRIED.

The costar is definitely cute.

I loved all the different ways of translating "heehhhhhhhh" (especially "Wowsers!")
