Lucky Man

Stepping outside of the bubble, taking on a journey miles from home, learning about different cultures and exploring their beliefs. It is all part of peering out of the van to this foreign nature and viewing what they believe is normal daily life. Covering your shoulders, not covering your shoulders. As we peer out are we too included in those who must follow their customs? Or are we considered as outsiders, seperate from their normality and so have no need to follow their dress code? Is it out of respect of their beliefs that we abide or is it to cover our vulnerability and deter certain looks we receive? "Lucky man" a tuktuk man said to Jack after seeing girls in the back of his truck. Is it part of the tour to stand out? There is nothing that really makes us that special. The confident lick of the lips, the creepy smirk, the suggestive wave, all of which send a quiet shudder through my body. But why take the fun out of it? Have a chuckle, how often would a man flatter you to that extent? Yes a tad too far, but why turn it into a negative experience? After all it's everyone's lucky day.
