Political Correctness

hmmm... we are not very politically correct in Uganda... my guess is most of the world is not.. which is ok to me. So take what Im about to say with that grain of salt.

On the way back home we went thru Dubai.. it was beautiful and such a contrast of cultures.. Coming from Uganda where we dress a bit more conservative, especially missionaries.. wow the dress today (yes I sound old) but girls and very grown women wearing shorts that barely come over the humps of their butts.. mercy
these women are walking around Dubai.. looking more like they should be on a catwalk or a street corner.. and walking next to them are men in their full conservative muslim clothes - a clash of worlds
and a nice transition into a world without mosques waking me in the morning and back to a world with funny clothes..
lots to get used to.. :)

  1. I'm with ya Jennie. I feel old when I look at the fashions these days. I still can't get over the length of dresses the girls wear now...is it a dress or just an extra long shirt??? And then they bend over and there's no question as to what colour underwear they're wearing. Guess in Ug the boobs can hang out, here it's the underpants. Hmmm.
