This is a picture of me in a sari which is the traditional Indian dress. I had to wear it while traveling in the villages. It is a long piece of fabric (8 meters) that is wrapped around and then tucked and pinned. I felt like a human burrito! For all that fabric it still does not cover from the rib cage to the top of the hip on the left side. That's why I'm holding my arms that way in the picture. I tried every way possible to get them to pin or tuck or something to cover that up but they just wouldn't have it! I also acquired the name "Karen Stick" because the ladies had to dress me (how embarrassing!) and they nicknamed me this. I came all the way to India for this abuse?! :)
