A bit of useless information but the Fez is worn in Chechya, it is called," Tarbosh,"meaning head cover. Checheya people are mostly Islamic and a very hardy people in such a mountainious land.
When first to be in Canada,"Vancouver", I was in a serious relationship with and Indian {East Indian}lady. She was so fascinating with their spicy cooking and some of the older fellows wearing the turban. It seemed strange to see a truck driver wearing a turban and then to become used to it. The Canadian description, was to call them {rag heads}. I was to meet her family and like her, they always kept a very neat house and boy oh boy, the first few times at supper time at their house as with Ammie {Amajet Purba} thought perhaps my mouth was to burn out of my head from the hot spiced food.
Their tea always was with milk and sweeten heavily and very spiced. Ammie explained this as being in India, it is very hot and the suger makes for energy.
We were very serious together, but it was very difficult, for I am white and she was East Indian. What the problem was, was racist attitude from the British Canadians. The Indians {East} cared little and the French Canadians could care less. But, we had to give it up, and with this, my work was not a good facture for any relationship of any kind. For shortly after, I was transferred across to Saskatchewan.
She was Sikh and did not have the red dot on her forehead as the Hindu.

Karl, nice that the hats remembered you the story from Canada. Yes, Indian people behave very much like British.... and I also had a room-mate from India and many friends and I was dating one Indian guy also a long time ago. Very interesting culture, but not that spiritual like people think while meaning yoga for instance.
Thanks for sharing!
