THEIR HOUSE-—THEIR RULES

Yes, 20 years ago we had a run in with the “fashion police” at St. Mark’s in Venice. My wife put a shawl on and all was good.

About 5 years ago, we were cautioned by the hotel staff in Istanbul that if we wanted to go to any Mosques, my wife should buy and wear a shawl to cover her head, hair, and shoulders.

The Fashion police are out there, you just need to watch for them and obey them unless you want to not be admitted.

Often, a sign outside indicates what you can and can’t wear. It is forbidden for both men and women to enter with uncovered shoulders, midriffs or knees. That means no spaghetti straps, sleeveless tops, crop tops, shorts, or above-the-knee dresses.

Oh My God- this is my #1 favorite of all of Michelle’s gaffes and thats a long list.

I worked with a guy from Hong Kong (Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from an English university) who was fluent in Cantonese, his first language, and who visited the Great Wall. When he tried to buy post cards the vendor gave him cards in Japanese.

I think they speak Mandarin in that area of China. It's considered the language of emperors over there.
