SCHOOL GIRLS WITH SCHOOL UNIFORMS...MOST SCHOOLS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD REQUIRE UNIFORMS...

These young girls were walking quickly, trying to avoid the camera. I innocently said something to them about posing for a picture and suddenly they stopped, wheeled around, and stood for this photograph. What really caught my eye was the doily-like wrappings around their ankles. I had never seen those before...they were cute, I thought. No smiles here either, which was a disappointment. Well, maybe one can discern a hint of a smile on three of the young girls. I wanted to ask them what grade they were in, but after the photo they took off running. I had to wonder what the heck they were thinking about the grey-haired foreigner who just had to have their photograph. Honestly, I think they liked having their picture taken...just like kids anywhere in the world.
