Today I found the most famous shop that sells beachwear, appropriately titled Bum Bums. People here have eight or nine swimming costumes, where at home you'd only have one or two, because it's hot all year round.
I was heartened to see that the desired body shape here for women is much curvier, and I hadn't really seen any of the tiny skeletal women you see walking around London all the time, even in Leblon, which is where the beautiful people hang out.
Then today I saw a woman with an improbable child's physique, though she can't have been under 40 years old, and an even more unlikely pair of rounded bosoms on top of it all.
I won't pretend to understand it all.
Off to watch the England game.
