I haven’t posted a self-portrait in a week or two. My vanity must be on the wane. No, that’s not true. You’re not vain when you know you’re the coolest man in China. A snarky blogger recently called The Stevo “tasty vittles.” I’ll take that as the ultimate compliment.
If you view this image large you may notice my ensemble. A purple plaid shirt and camouflage shorts is Stevo’s China Wear at its finest. My rationale is simple: I’m going to be stared at any way, I might as well be entertaining to look at. If you saw some of the clothes in Mrs. Stevo’s closet my above look would seem tame.
Clothes shopping, actually all shopping in China, is cheap. Instead of buying used clothing (as I did in Canada) I can now afford the ugliest of un-preowned shirts. I’ll take you shopping in China, if you visit, I know some place with reasonably attractive garments, and a great tailor.

Came across your blog from another blog. Great to meet another Canadian! I hopped back and forth and back between HK/China and Canada myself over the past few years. Hoping to go back to China some time for an extended period of time. I’d say my favourite part about clothes in China is getting them made to fit!
Great pics btw!

Are you sure that wasn’t a shark blogger who called you tasty vittles? ; - )
I liked the photo. Cool idea.

Pokin: Welcome. Thanks for stopping by. You have a dandy blog. If you get back to HK let me know.
mecury: Maybe he likes being in the mirror.
yb: All the shark bloggers work for the Discovery Channel. Don’t they have a Shark Week of programming every month? Thanks.

*laughing* I saw a small child, today at work, who reminded me so much of you I thought, “I wonder where Stevo was three or four years ago?”
My second thought was, “I could have a lot of fun with him, if I had a camera handy!”
Couldn’t quit giggling. The kids poor mother probably thinks I’m nuts.

I think that with a purple plaid shirt and camouflage shorts you’d fit right in with some of the expats in Japan.

I wanna go shopping.

So what’s that behind you? And why am I so thrown by the fact that there’s a palm tree?

Shawn: I can’t remember that long ago. Mental blank.
Tom: That’s sad, I thought I was an individual.
Wanda: Book a ticket and Mrs. Stevo will take you.
Pan: I agree.
Theresa: My school’s buildings, the dorms in fact, are behind me.
