OR Blog #37: Today, I read an article from CultureGrams called Personal Appearance. This fits into today's assignment because it talks about the culture of Kenya through their appearance. The traditional clothing is similar to that of the Indian traditional clothing. In Kenya women wear dresses just like that in India. Something different in Kenya is something called the kanga. A kanga is a rectangular piece of colorful cotton fabric. It's worn as a skirt, to cover their clothes, or to shield themselves from the rain and wind. Some women will use the kanga to carry their children on their backs. The article also said that some women wear scarves. I think this is also something that's similar to the Indian culture. I think I've said this before in one of my other blogs, but I'll say it again, without different cultures the world would be pretty boring. You to have diversity to make the world more interesting.
