As with any place, the longer you stay there, the more you start to see things repeat themselves. Sometimes it's every month, sometimes it's every decade, but a lot of things tend to move in circles. One of these things that comes around every year in Thailand is the issue of how short the skirts of university girls should be. Every year the hemlines inch upward, and every year the Department of Anti-Turpitude gets quoted on the front page of the papers on how this isn't Thai culture and the girls should be ashamed of themselves and why can't they just dress like we did in the 1920's? Far be it from me to be outraged at a bit of leg, but there actually have been a few times where I've done a double-take at the length (or lack thereof) of a skirt. One must be very careful how they walk if they're to avoid a free show for those in the vicinity, which is what this girl did one day at Siam Square.
