A Toronto moment

The lady next to me on the subway is wearing exactly the same scarf as me. Mine is intricately and decoratively folded and knotted in my very best imitation of the style worn by some random girl from France I saw on the subway. Hers is wrapped around her head as a hijab.

(Aside: I'm still trying to figure out if I'm allowed to compliment a hijab-wearer on her scarf the same way I'd compliment another woman on her shoes.)

I think compliments on clothing, even clothing with religious uses, are always ok.

This is based on nothing, just my own sense of etiquette.

Nice moment, too.
