Anyway, last week my school had National Costume Day. It's had an entire deel week before, but the past two years we only had one day. Everyone had to wear to wear a deel, and any other traditional hats, boots, and other things if they had them. Since I wear a deel almost every day anyway, this wasn't too different for me personally. However, in the afternoon we had a ceremony for all the teachers, staff, and students to parade around in their best Mongolian wear.
As a bonus, I present this diagram of a deel, courtesy of our school's технологийн багш.
So glad you have updated your blog. The pictures of the students and staff dressed in their deels were wonderful. The students are darling and look so proud. You won't have to wait so long to bath once you are home and you won't have to guess if the spots are bruises or dirt! We love you
ReplyDeleteNice pictures, Andrew. An attractive group of students.
ReplyDeleteYou know, you could have entitled this blog entry something like, "Not a Big Deel."
