We work with people from many different cultures. Obviously we're not all alike in the way we handle people. Some are a bit more forward in how they comment on your appearance...but then they are shy to tell you the important things.

These are the lovely comments I heard over the course of this week:
- You look tired. Your eyes don't look so good. Are you sick? (Maybe I need to get some sun! Okay, I guess I'll just have to start going to the pool again.)
- Don't wear black anymore. It doesn't look good on you. (Hmmm....I wanted to tell her to look at herself --she wears a full black abaya everyday. Don't bust on me!)
- What's wrong with your hair? Did you do something different? (They definitely didn't like my hair that day)

gotta love those....some things i do not miss about living in the middle east. :-)
well, at least you don't have to wonder what people are thinking... :)
or this one- you aren't 24 you can't be. or maybe you just look older because you are (the girl then hand motions that i have some serious curves) and says because you are not skinny.
