got terrible looks from the locals as she was ‘bare-armed’.
I'm not disputing it, but how do you know this was the reason? (Just wondering.) Reminds me of how (the British, I think) threw a fit because Michelle Obama wore a sleeveless dress in (gasp!!) the presence of The Queen.
I think some people just need a chance to get over it already, ok? (Sorry. I really have no patience with any of this.)
While I'm not certain we did ask at the hotel what was the accepted dress code for churches, and mentioned the incident. They told us it was very likely this..
Maybe if she was twerking in the face of the crucified Jesus, they might have some kick coming, otherwise AFAIC, they can just smile & STFU. (You can tell her I said so.) (:-Þ~~~
I see. My opinion remains. (See above.)
I am the most non religious person you will ever meet, and prefer the architecture to the opinions others have. Can't say I like this either, but if your in other countries you need to respect their beliefs or just keep away. You can end up in jail in some for doing otherwise..
I know. Going out of your way to be a jerk is one thing, but if you're behaving yourself, enjoying the culture, have everything that usually needs covering covered ... you shouldn't have to put up with some old biddies with a stick up their ass. (Again, you can quote me.)
That's a very British term, surely nicked from the 'cat'? ;)
Let's say it's my way of being cosmopolitan. (grin)
