Keeping up with the culture

Hi guys!
This post should have been made much earlier so sorry for the delay!

During our stay in Sri Lanka we had many opportunities to wear traditional Sri Lankan outfits. For most of our time spent at school, Kasia and I wore Shalwars/Punjabi whilst teaching. Even though in that heat it may have seemed like an inappropriate choice of clothing, it was surprisingly comfortable, light and airy, so we decided to dress like this for school on a daily basis.

The day that grabbed many people’s attention was on the Prize Giving Day held for students at the school at which we volunteered. In order to try and blend in with the people attending the programme, both Kasia and I decided to wear  half-sarees (basically a saree). To be perfectly honest I think Kasia was absolutely enjoying herself, as she claimed we were ‘playing dress up’-also she really couldn’t say no to pink!.
