Bolstering Your Cuddling Time!

In a final post on bed linen, I've noticed that over here, a duvet set is not quite the same as it is at home. In a single set, you get the cover, 1 pillow case and 1 bolster cover. Yes, you're expected to need only the one pillow and to have the long cylindrical pillow (known as a bolster, to all fellow bed ware ignoramuses out there!).

According to herself, one of the main uses for this is as a "cuddle buddy". I kid you not: apparently Asians (as well as most heterosexual Western guys!) aren't big on the whole cuddling thing. This is true here even among married couples. Enter the bolster to fill the breach. Herself told me an Asian joke about it which was possibly the worst joke that I've ever heard (not being Asian and all!). The joke went like "Why don't Ang Mohs (Westerners) use bolsters?" with the hilarious punchline "Because they hug their partners". This is quite funny out here, I'm told!

I must admit it does feel somewhat comfortable to wrap oneself around it. It doesn't fart or complain when you want to turn either!
