After completing our video presentation Chris and I invited out the CIES student over to La Pitaria, our treat. Only Ermit, Erie and Baja could join us but it was pretty fun hanging out with all of them at once. It had to be about forty degrees outside and Baja and I were only wearing long sleeve shirts so we had fun giving Erie,who was bundled like a kitten, a hard time when she said she was cold. With Baja he began telling me about Turkish women, their fashions and their oddities. In Turkey, he said, the women are fashionable at all time; breakfast, lunch and dinner...they probably sleep in heels. In the restaurant I helped Erie order and asked her a few questions about the Japanese perception of facial hair. Like Hunwoo, she agreed that most formal places shun it but tend to overlook it on foreigners. She asked if i was planning on growing dreadlocks and I replied that I was. She said the she had once attempted to put a few dreads in her hair but it had disastrous results. We all ate and started walking back and Chris and I still haven't found a good way to sent our videos to Ramin yet as they exceed email capacity. Hopefully we will figure that out soon.
