Yesterday I continued my quest for a winter coat. I’ve decided that it might be too early. What is disappointing is that many clothing stores either do not have men’s clothes or don’t have any for men over 25. I went all the way down to Luxembourg City to check out a coat I had seen online at Monoprix, and they not only didn’t have it, but they didn’t have any men’s clothes at all. So I went to Esch today, only to have the same thing repeated—stores without men’s clothing or with just a small selection. One thing I have learned on by visiting many stores in Luxembourg is that either the men here think differently about shopping than they do in the states, or men just don’t shop for clothes in Luxembourg. Maybe they go to France or Germany. I say this because if you’ve ever been to a department store in the states, you know that the men’s section is always by a door. Why? Because men like to dart in and dart out. Put the men’s stuff in the back and we won’t go in. Well, that’s not what they do here. Most of the time the men’s clothing was in the back of the store.

On my way home from Esch, I decided to see what the other terminus was like. Rodange seems  like a suburb—there are few shops than there are in other towns and more houses, which isn’t to say that it’s not beautiful:

I’m not sure why I like this but I do:

Strangely, Luxembourg Google doesn’t include maps.

Anyway, after I returned home, it was time to grade papers, which I did until nearly 23h. And now it’s time to sleep before the roofers return shortly after sunrise…
