Women in Black


Most women here are covered in black chador, as imposed by law, exposed only the faces. The suggestion of this image as conservative and reserved is misleading. Since the town of Kerman, I have noticed the women in town outnumbered the men, they wandered freely, either by themselves or in groups, free to strike a conversation with stranger like me, after buying things from a shop, some even happily screamed out loud, "I love you!", what a culture shock!
