Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

the ones I have drag the ground unless I roll them up.

So, maybe...

You can get any number of travel-friendly skirts in a longer length, Jesse.

I'd just rather not buy something I'll only wear on this trip, and I don't think I'd wear a skirt that long. I am confident I can find some appropriately-inseamed lightweight pants before June!

What's to fight about? You people are short.

Jesse, I just emailed my friend who went to Turkey a couple of years ago to see what she did for clothing.

Look! She's shaking her tiny fists of rage!

If I really wanted to pick a fight I'd mentiond the deliciousness of cilantro.

Also, can you bring me back some rugs and pottery?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

OK, I'll have to get some pants then. Man, I hate buying pants!

I bought a bunch of lightweight pants/longsleeved shirts for Thailand, because the culture is very modest there. If you look at North Face, REI, Sierra Trading Post, etc., it shouldn't be too difficult. I liked my North Face cargo pants [link] -- lightweight and fast-drying, zip-off pant legs, and ties at the shin to make it easier to roll up. Perfect for white-water rafting, hiking, etc. Also got pants from REI and Ex Officio. Ex Officio pants did not fit quite stylishly but they make good lightweight, quick-drying longsleeved shirts & underwear. (We only carried carry-on sized bags for the three-week trip.)

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Jesse, how do you feel about thrift store clothing?

Zipoffs are another good option.

Thanks, bon. I don't really wear shorts, so wouldn't get those exact ones, but I hadn't thought of that kind of store.
