Wearing uniforms

The TAZARA construction projects also molded our perception. They used to wear construction uniforms. We figured that this was Chinese culture. Based on magazines and Lee movies we thought even back home these people wore uniforms and each day they had a special color. So on Monday they would put on a khaki colored one, and the next day a green one, right up until the week-end, countrywide. This was because the TAZARA workers wore uniforms in a certain rhythm for the entire five years of construction. So we thought that China, because of socialism, is a nation of uniforms.
