i'm trying not to make a habit of posting too much - dead giveaway one has no life.

i'm browsing caftans, tunics and jilbabs to wear in the middle east. yep, i'm going there too on my travels and need to dress appropriately as to not get stoned or such... i don't think it's that bad there, tho.
clothing wise, i don't think i will have too much of an issue as long as i wear long sleeves and pants/skirts. i don't need any head scarves where i'm going.

but i am freaking out about this!

schistosomiasis (bilharzia)
little worms that infect you and break down your internal organs over years????
i'm planning to go scuba diving in the red sea - i guess that's ok cos it's salt water... but still! does this mean no showers???? argh!
