Was I Impolite?
I talked with a friend through chatting software yesterday. He is from Egypt, while I am from China, and we chatted very happily / had an enjoyable conversation. At the end of it, we exchanged photos of / with each other. After sending my photos to him, however, I felt so sorry because I know in his culture, women should cover their heads, yet, mine was not. I am left wondering if it was impolite? I am very worried about that.Good job! I understood everything that you were trying to tell me as the reader. I just rewrote / reworded a few of your sentences to make them clearer and easier to read. As to the English, there has to be a space between the last punctuation mark (usually, a period) and the first word of the next sentence. Also, the word "I" in reference to yourself, is always capitalized. Finally, no, I do not think you were impolite, so please do not be worried. My limited understanding of the culture is that only an extremely small, but deeply religious, number of believers think such requirements apply to non-Muslim women, so unless your new friend is one those, he should not have been offended. I hope this helps you. J.

If they have a problem about it, they will tell you, and you'll be able to decide if you want to behave differently or not. :)

No, it's not impolite. Do not feel the need to conform to another cultures standards if you are in a culturally neutral place such as the internet. You're fine :) Middle Eastern people know that nobody else in the world share their customs.
