Espasol and booger factory

Here in the kingdom the weather is very different from the place where i came from. There is no typhoon here nor rain but if there is rain it happened only once a year for one hour or so.Rain or shine umbrella here is useless, yes even sunny days umbrella is not part of the arabs life because for my two years of stay here i never saw an arab use an umbrella even the expats.

But here in the kingdom there is one special weather which i called the espasol and that is the sandstorm.Why espasol?espasol is a native deli made from glutinous rice and coconut and rolled in toasted flour and because during sandstorm if you stay outside of your dwelling your body or your face will be covered by dust a resemblance of espasol lol.If you dont use any mask your nose will become the booger factory lol.Now it is clear for me the function of the head dress of the arabs which they called the ghutrah or the keffiyeh where they used it to cover their nose as well as the entire face.The ghutrah is now famous part of the fashion statement in the Philippines.But here to use that is a big no-no for non arabs they will be angry for not respecting their national costume.Kaya ako sa pinas ko na lang gamitin yang ghutrah gawin ko pang sarong habang nasa dagat ako lol
