Amy-ko on parade 恵美子オンパレード

I wore a sari(Indian woman's traditional clothes). I had chatted a few times with a girl named Uma, who warks in our guest house. She offered to bring in a sari for me to try on. She brought a yellow sari and showed me how to put it on. A sari is a single piece of cloth about 1.25m x 6m. To wear it, you have to wrap it around you a few times, and fold it into pleats in some places. A sari is easir to wear than a Japanese kimono for sure. Afterwards, she offered to bring in her special silk sari. I got to try that one on, too. I was very excited. I makes me want to buy a sari!

Ahhhh… It’s hot hot!! Okay, enough of a photo shoot. Let’s go back and change my clothes.
ああぁぁ～～暑すぎる！！写真撮影はもう十分！ハイ、着替えに帰りましょう。

今日はなんと！！サリー(インドとネパールの民族衣装)を着たよ！
私らの泊まっているゲストハウスで働いている女性と仲良くなり、彼女がサリーを着せてくれた。
思ってたよりなかなかいいカンジ！
着るのはなかなか難しいけれど、日本の着物より断然簡単。
サリーは約６ｍ×１.２５ｍの一枚の布で、器用にひだを作り巻いていく。
ロングスカートだから暑い暑い！！
女性のほとんどはこのサリーを毎日着ている。
さぞ暑かろうに・・・
