No obligation to wear black read and gold socks with matching Adidas
hiking boots at all times? Is Mixi wrong about Germany?

Oh yes, born fully clothed indeed! But my good man, there is a load of
difference between a wet T shirt contest and a topless beach. Wet fabric!
Actually the fact that the flesh is not totally exposed makes it somehow
more desirable. I must confess, however, that I have harbored some of your
feelings about American morality and culture for a long time and I am
surrounded by it and find it clingy and damn hard to remove.

I think that this opinion is being shared by a high percentage of
people, not only in God's Own Country. Other forms of erotic dressing
and underware might be similar popular in Europe as in the US, but I got
the feeling that in North America it always has a bit more lascivious
overtones and in Europe a bit more normality.
Anybody who might have the empirical backgroung might compare the
average behavior of an American girl dresses in garters and nylons ("I'm
sexy, bad and desirable") with a French girl in the same dress ("I'm
just looking good, so what?"). In one case it's playing a nasty role,
in the other it's just a normal part of life.
One of my deepest impressions once was to find out, that a distant
relative in Oregon had never seen his wife without make-up in over 10
years of relationship. She only entered the bedroom when the shades
were closed and the lights were out. I do not think that this is normal
in North America, but I think that this would be even more exceptional
in most European countries.

Sure. You live there, grew up there, were educated there. My position
is not to say that something is right or wrong, I'm just amazed
sometimes how different truths and habits are, even in cultures that are
pretty close to each other in other respects.
After extensive travel in various parts of the world, I just realized
for myself that truths and values are closely related to time and place.
When I'm in the US, it would never come into my mind to swim or sunbathe
with no proper dress (or even argue for the freedom to do so), in Europe
I hardly would visit places where I would have to swim dressed.
What is interesting, however, is that I finally decided to live not too
far from the place where I grew up and adopted my basic values. As for
you, it's pretty comfortable for me to live with those traditional
customs, even if I can live with something else (within a certain
bandwidth) as well :-)

This must be her idea of "keeping the mystery in the relationship". Add to that that the
lady must have been extremely insecure about her looks. Did he marry a woman or a pot of
face cream ?

data transfer."
Sorry Jack. It never occured to me that so many readers of
rec.travel.europe would be interested in seing Natalie Portman topless.
As for yesterdays bandwidth problems, I've rearanged my Kirsten Dunst
topless pictures so more people can view them without exceeding my
hourly bandwith quota.
Cameron Diaz also indulges in topless bathing:
http://www.geocities.com/merdealorsen/diaz.html
I've put topless pictures at the bottom of most of my pages in a
desperate attemp at generating traffic. So far, the 2086 visitiors to
http://www.geocities.com/merdealorsen/ have generated 3,98$US to my
European travel fund. Se please click on those Google adds!
