everything was dealt with by men. running of hotel, businesses, cafes where i went, i was the only woman there. i did portrait sketches of the men, at their workplace or in the cafes. on one bus i was the only woman and another i saw a woman but she was covered but when the bus stopped for lunch, we were both at back of shops (had been to toilet) she squatted down and removed her head covering. i was entranced. she was very beautiful with khol around her eyes. i squatted beside her and tried to communicate but we didn't speak each others language but we smiled and made some sign language. it wass good vibes and i will always remember that.
