Wearing it at breakfast makes more sense to me. People don't view breakfast as a dress up affair like perhaps dinner is and they are going outside after breakfast and have put their hat on for the day.

oh I didnt mean it was a random place - I meant I had no clue and was picking somewhere randomly. Chester?

No I dont think so It seems more those that are bothered by what others wear and those who aren't. Mostly people said they do follow the dress code - the actual dress code, not other cruiser's code - but this then seems to divide into those who do so but live and let live and those who want to be the fashion police, like OP, and tell others what to wear.

yes of course one follows customs of a place one visits and of course that varies. My original point was simply saying the country you consider sophisticated (before you said where it was) was certainly not going to be Australia - since shorts for everyone are extremely commonplace here.

background looks an English thatched cottage. # picks random place in England.... Dorset?

I hope you like living in Japan. I have never been there. But I like living in Australia where men (and women and children) wearing shorts is extremely commonplace. I make no claims to being sophisticated though.

Agreed, K32682 -was thinking exactly same thing and you beat me to saying it. Not the topic or thread itself but the snobby condescending comments it was opened with.

lots of condescending generalisations in OP - but just on this one - No, whatever is suitable for women to wear is ok for men to wear I am a woman and I don't get pedicures or paint my nails. and I can't imagine being so bothered by other people's toe nails,.(or their legs for that matter) especially when you cant even see them sitting at a table.

It wouldnt be Australia, that's for sure. We have a casual attitude to dress here thankfully and shorts at dinner in restaraunts (on land) are quite common and they were on our river cruise in Europe too.

Kitekite falls?

looks like the Loch Ness monster.....

hmmm, I think unlikely events are unlikely. Risk management - if you want to keep your seat belt on at all times that's good - but I do not think it is dangerous to take it off when you are allowed to take it off and I'm ok doing that when it is a long flight and trying to sleep.

Yes I do that. If there is turbulence or something they will tell you if you have to have them on.

I do. If I can lie down, I sleep. The one time I took business class flight to UK, I slept really well - also the one time I took a half full plane to Dubai and could lie down on empty seats. Was wonderful. Unfortunately my budget doesn't stretch to business class again and Ive never since been on a flight with empty seats. Even without lying down, I can sleep intermittently on long flight, say, an hour here or there - neck pillow, earphones with relaxing music. Have never taken sleeping medication in my life.

I'll give you that, close enough - it is indeed the so called 'Great Wall of China' between Blinmen and Wilpena Pound in the Flinders Ranges

only got it from Mikes clue - would have had no idea on my own. Next pic....

Doha

somewhere in the Middle East?

Correct answer. Da Nang ( Marble Mountain in English) in Vietnam @lyndarra - your turn.

No, that doesn't bother me Ive slept on other people's pillows in private houses, hotels, boats etc for 6 decades - hasn't hurt me yet so not going to start worrying about it now

I guess I am a medium packer - on a 3 week trip I would take a large suitcase, a small carry o n case and a personal handbag I do end up taking some clothes I dont wear - weather isnt as expected or suchlike - and I take about 7 sets of underwear and handwash them and lightweight shirts every few days and get some washing done nor machine wash it myself, depending on the trip. Other than a neck pillow for the flight, I have never thought about taking my own pillow.

not India, not Thailand

Mary River National Park , NT?

Kakadu?
