conservative
i had been planning to go to the embassy tomorrow, so i checked their office hours on their website only to find out that they are closed on fridays. arrgh.
aside from the opening hours, i also found this note to visitors:
Visitors are requested to come appropriately attired. The Embassy will not allow entry to skimpily attired and barefoot people or those wearing the following who are deemed to be inappropriately attired:
1. Shorts with cuts of more than three (3) inches above the knee;
2. Slippers;
3. Mini-skirts with cut of more than three (3) inches above the knee;
4. Exposed underwears (briefs, panties, bras, boxer shorts, kamiseta)
5. Shirts/blouses with plunging necklines;
6. Shirts/blouses that intentionally show the belly button/navel;
7. Pants/shorts with very low waistlines that reveal portions of private parts such as the buttocks;
8. Transparent shirts and pants that show undergarments.
hello? it’s an embassy, not a church. and is there a need to reiterate pa talaga in detail what ‘inappropriate attire’ means?
if, one day, i should ever need to flee and seek refuge at the embassy, i hope i’ll remember to ditch the flip flops and don proper shoes.
