Beware what lurks in the closet....

Here is a photo of one of the sections of our closet in the bedroom, seems pretty normal, unless of course you notice that there are mans clothes hanging in it (this is the first place we have lived together where I have access to the closet in the bedroom, quite a victory really!) But that is not what this post is about. Notice that some of the clothes hangers are red and yellow, we bought them here. I think the white ones came from the states. Recently I had an interview with one of the University programs I am applying to for next year, so I decided to wear a nicer shirt that I hadn't worn since we moved here. To celebrate the interview Nikki took me out for a sushi dinner that night.

I took every precaution to protect the shirt from splashing soy sauce.

So you can imagine my surprise when we get home and I notice a red line across the back of my shirt. I do some exploring and then discover the source of the magically appearing red line...

It actually comes from the clothes hanger.... I mean really, the clothes hanger? We are cautious of local fish products, we don't drink the tap water, we don't buy a lot of electronic products here. (mostly because they are too expensive) But I never would have thought that the clothes hangers would be too poor of a quality not to bleed colors onto the clothes that hang on them... foolish of me.

So Rob and I both finished reading this with a collective "Awwww...." that stinks!! Who would've thought you'd have to worry about the hangers!!

On another note, the sushi looks delicious!!
