After being in Egypt (where almost every inch of woman-skin is hidden) and Honduras (where almost nobody wears skirts or shorts) and Finland (where it’s too cold most of the year to expose your flesh to the air) it’s taking me a little time to get used to seeing women and girls wearing short shorts and tank tops!
It doesn’t bother me, but it’s still jarring…I can’t help but think, “I really don’t need to see all but four inches of your leg. Really.”
I am a female Marine currently in the Individual Ready Reserve. I like to sleep, travel, read, eat, explore, and take photographs. I read lots of news and I like reading about life in other countries. I am easily amused and my dream job is to be snoozing in a warm patch of sunlight, hopefully with a piece of tasty cheese nearby for when I wake up hungry.
