There are a lot of things that are just different in Guatemala. When I first got here, one of those differences was the manequins that they use here. In Canada, manequins are skinny and pretty flat-bottomed. Not so here . . . the plastic models reflect the more common Latino body shape.

So, today, on our shopping trip, I decided to spend that money on a luxury item for myself. I bought Herbal Essences shampoo. I used to use it all the time in Canada and [...]
