Clothes

In Jordan, wearing short shorts is probably the dumbest thing you can do. People stare and glare..(hey that rhymes!) A tank top? You're MAD! Anything SLIGHTLY against the dress code to school? For SHAME! Wear anything but pants and a tee, you get stared at. A LOT. But here, anyone can wear anything anytime! You can wear weird pants and an even weirder shirt, but people are USED to it. You can wear short shorts, or just go naked. Wear a mini dress, WHATEVER! and no one CAAAAAAAAARES! It's beautiful. But im sooo used to the strict dress code, that I simply CANNOT wear anything other than pants. Short shorts kinda scare me... Anyway, beauty here is also different. People that are deemed beautiful are...small. petite. pale. preferably blonde. It's like how some countries want large, bronzed women with dark hair and eyes, they want the opposite here. its actually kind of funny! The people here don't want to get tanned, so they walk around under umbrellas so they stay pale. THE HILARITY! I might post pictures, but i dont think i can take pictures of random people..
Loves,
