1 The culture of dressing down

Quote: “On one’s property, it’s interesting to note that little more than one’s skimpy underwear is sometimes worn by both sexes when working out in the sun in Slovakia.”

    This is true, and in most cases rather embarrassing to see even the “less in shape” people wearing swimsuits or just shorts. But on the other hand, don't complain about one's private property, where he can wear and do anything he likes.  Moreover such “beach boy” garment is often tolerated in some public places, for example market places or summer festivals.

      I think it is still better than to see people with sun-burnt faces and forearms, but pale torso and shoulders because of overexposing themselves to the sun still wearing their T-shirts. When I was in London, I also saw people walk into a supermarket wearing only shorts. But the difference was that these guys were in good shape, with at least signs of “six-pack” and toned muscles.  

Few months ago, I came across an interesting article written by an American living in Slovakia. (http://www.52insk.com/2012/1950/)  I liked some of his observations and therefore decided to comment them. I do not want to offend the author, nor anyone else. Please, accept this just as poor fiction and one’s will to share his opinions.
