Women should not wear pants

11 09 July 2007
Today was interesting, I was asked by one of the chemistry guys, older, why I wear trousers like men and not dresses or skirts like the women. I noticed this last week sometime and in the market. All the women, both young and old, don’t wear pants, and if it is cold enough that you might want to, they wear a skirt over them so they cant be seen. I could not really give him a good answer, I wear them because they are simple, convenient; which is kind of ironic because if you think about skirts all they are is a circle of fabric with a hole cut out of it, how much more simple can you get. I grew up wearing them and never really like skirts that much. I think that I will ask one of the women here if they will go to the market with me and help me pick out some dresses and skirts. I really like the clothes here, I just don’t have the fashion sense to pick out stuff.
