CLOTHING
From May to September you need lightweight summer clothing, and a raincoat and um-
brella might come in handy. In restaurants and hotels air-conditioning can be fierce. From
late September to early December shirt-sleeves and sweaters are appropriate, while from
late December to February a warm jacket or light coat is advisable.
Informality is generally the rule. For sightseeing and shopping, shorts and T-shirts are ac-
ceptable in most places, but shorts, vests and flip-flops (thongs) are out of place in up-mar-
ket restaurants and temples. Bring comfortable shoes for the steep slopes.
