Re: [Cz-L] Volksgarten walks and girls with bows on their head

   
Hi, Oded,
Yes, I am familiar with the custom of a bow right on top of the head.
Had to wear it in school in Bucharest, to look "pretty and tidy"! It is
also popular in the Ukraine and Russia. Have only seen it here, in
Berlin, on some Russian girls' heads, mainly of modest dress. They had
obviously emigrated not too long ago, and brought this custom along with
them. However, lately I have not noticed it any more. Most Russian
immigrants have done well and dress in the most elegant and fashionable way.
