I've got an issue with Mozambican dress code for women! In almost 100 degree weather with high humidity...when turning on a fan feels like a furnace blast...women are expected to keep their knees & shoulders completely cover at all times. And for church, long skirts are required...and men must wear pants. Most local woman wear a long gorgeous cloth wrapped around their waist (called a capulanas) and under that they wear pants that cover their knees. It looks good but really??
Sweat dripping down my front & back is not a feeling I enjoy! On the plus side, I seldom have to use the bathroom where the mosquitoes hang out!
No wonder people often sit and just seem to be melting. Rog has been taking a shower in the middle of the day with all his clothes on so he stays cooler as the clothes dry on him.
Fortunately, we heard in South America the opposite is common. Lots of skin showing and it will be cooler. Kinda seems backwards but lots of things here do!!
