On the entire trip, I never saw one woman dressed immodestly (except on some magazines and TV). On one day I remarked in my notes, “I did see one woman’s neck today.” One time I saw a young lady in a restaurant in a skirt and tall boots (with a portion of her legs visible). But both were such extreme exceptions. Most have their faces visible (only); only a few their eyes; very few are completely covered. I was astonished at the consistency. Maybe it would be different were it not winter (it was in the 60s), but I’m not sure about that. This is in contrast with America there seem to be so many who do not dress modestly, including at the church service. This of course leads to the question of what defines modesty. More on that in a future post.
