Head Scarfs...

I have never imagined that so many women in Egypt will wear head scarfs, or even cover their whole face. Egypt gets a huge supply of tourists each year and as such I thought the "overseas" influence will be far stronger. I understood now it is even a trend to actually wear the headscarf. Funny thing is that some girls tuck and hide their hair under the scarf but wear tight clothes that pretty much show and highlights every bit of their body, which in my opinion sort of contradicts the reason for wearing the scarf.

The truth is though that not every girl wants to wear the scarf but might be forced by her family or husband. But there are still fair amount of those that want and believe they should wear the scarf.

The scarf is though necessary only in front of other men. The girls orgnanize lots of parties where only girls meet and wear no scarfs and come in "european clothes", I think heaven for any guy if he had access to that party.

It is amazing if you stroll around markets and shops and see what sort of clothes they are selling - pretty much range of clothes that would fit prostitute to circus performers - and then you go to the streets and see the covered girls, long skirts, long t-shirts, long scarfs all over the body... well, imagine how girls look and what they must wear behind the closed door of their homes, I bet the blood pressure of any guy would raise by a lot entering any egyptian home unexpectadly!! :o))
