Weird or Wise?

In preparation for summer, I've purchased a higasa (parasol/sun umbrella) and arm-length uv-protectant driving gloves. I say it's sensible, but my husband says it's strange. Which one of us is right?

higasa - kinda neat
driving gloves - weird

Thanks for the reality check, Speaka. A lot of the women my age here wear driving gloves, so it started seeming normal. I'm still gonna wear them, though.

I guess it is kind of wise but really just goes to show how Japanese you have become. Next thing you know you'll feel like going around town all day in one of those walk-in, smock type apron things. Went to tsunoshima today and have put some photos up on Blog 2.

Oh dear. Hopefully I'll be gone before I have the urge to wear a smock apron. I'll check out your blog right now.

Healthy and strange. Strange wins though so I wouldn't use either... It will take a bit for them to become the 'norm' for me...

Yeah, after doing it myself, I wouldn't advise foreigners to stay here 3 years straight without visiting their home country. Hard to tell the difference between strange and normal sometimes.
