Second in the series of Egyptian Decorum

A quote I found on Melissa Jensen's Facebook:

"I don't understand how a woman can leave the house without fixing herself up a little - if only out of politeness. And then, you never know, maybe that's the day she has a date with destiny. And it's best to be as pretty as possible for destiny."
-Coco Chanel

The Egyptians have this down pat. And not just the girls, mind you. Every time one of my guy friends leaves the house they get dressed up and put on the cologne and such. They could be going to an important school function, a party, or the grocery store. It doesn't matter.

I, on the other hand, generally wear cargo pants and a t-shirt. I think the only time I've worn these cargo pants in the states is when I tried them on, and when I was in the airport. Here, though, I am comforted by having everything on me that may be necessary in an emergency. Hence, lots of pockets.

The Egyptians must think I'm a slob.

  2. I'm not sure the opinion is limited only to Egyptians...
