Often its the simple things in life that give us the greatest pleasure.  For me it's sometimes enjoying a simple can of iced coffee from Mr Brown.  It's a Taiwanese based company and I usually can find one of these 8.12 ounce cans for about $1 each at several stores in town. It comes in several different flavors and so far my favorite has been Cappuccino. I tend to limit myself to 1 or 2 cans of iced coffee per week.  A welcome treat and I'll likely drink more during the hotter summer months.

When I got them however, the Japan size Large fits more like an American size Medium and was very disappointed.  After researching online, it appears this is due to vanity sizing and the sizes will differ between countries. I gave away the Japan shirts to another friend and just by luck, I checked my local Uniqlo store in the States and they finally got Large in stock.  I bought the five (5) I was seeking. The experience was bittersweet.  While I finally got the exact shirts in the size I wanted, it required wasting almost $50 bucks getting a bunch of shirts of the wrong size. Lesson learned.  Do your research before buying clothes you cannot try on in-person.  Been quite a few hit-or-misses when ordering clothes online. Still...I f
