Life in Cambodia

Changing Culture in Cambodia 18 May 2009 Recently I have noticed more and more women wearing some sort of socks or hose. The women who do tend to stand out because the common footware in most of Asia is either nothing or a simple flip-flop or slip-on sandal. I'm not sure what is precipitating the style change. Maybe it's just a fad but maybe it's another instance of Western values creeping into Asian culture.

Socks for motorcycling Socks for bicycling Socks for going to school Socks for going to work Knee-highs or anklets Mostly younger women wear socks but sometimes their mothers do, too
