Almost there!

Hope everyone had a great Easter! It's been crazy busy here- 2 days left until we open! At Hollister we have shirtless greeters like we have at A&F, but they are dressed as lifeguards, complete with zinc on their noses, lifeguard red shorts, and sunglasses! They started work yesterday letting people know about the opening and were getting swarmed by customers! It sounds like opening day will be very busy! We are wrapping everything up and are ahead of schedule so no rushing! One of the directors will be at the store tomorrow to sign off on the opening- keep your fingers crossed for me!
Wales has been a fun place! The associates and managers are great and are really enjoying the opening! I am learning to count to ten in Welsh, but it seems to be more challenging than Japanese! It's the craziest language to hear people talk in! It sounds like they take the vowels out of all their words- very interesting! Thankfully though, everyone speaks English unless they want to say something they don't want us to understand :)
We went out last night to a bar next to our hotel for a little bit and ran into our entire staff! We usually don't have this problem in the states, but here they can drink at 18 so they are everywhere! They would see us and go "Look! It's the Americans!" Haha! We didn't stay out too long, but it was good to get out of the hotel for a little bit! It is very interesting the way the girls dress here when they go out- I guess you could say they believe "less is more". Haha, they don't leave much room for wardrobe malfunctions!
Ok, that is all for now, time to get to work! I'll put up some pictures tonight!

Love yall!
