There are very good reasons for wearing long pants even out of working hours..read guides..mosquitoes, leeches, sunburn, etc.

You can habitually wander around shorts if you like, but you will regret it.

I have worn shorts for the last 50 years, both in Africa and Asia, and so far I am doing just fine.

As for leeches: I do a fair bit of bird watching and shorts are much better in leech territory as you can see the buggers and pick them off. Trousers won't keep them away (never mind that the only leeches in Phnom Penh live in girlie bars and trousers will not keep them away one bit).

Shorts were never a problem when I was in Africa, must admit I don't wear them here, I might get mistaken for a bogun.

After going for a walk in shorts it's easy to just use water to wash the dust and dirt off that sticks to your legs. I use the bum gun. If you wear long trousers ,,, it's a lot more work to
wash and rinse then hang your trousers up to dry and thats after you go through the process of rethreading your belt, emptying your pockets etc.
You will be surprised at how much dirt clings to your pants lower down by your ankles.

What makes you think that? Most do, I'm wearing long pants right now.
Not that you have a choice. You're compelled to do so because your workplace has a dress code. You are not even permitted to choose the color.

You two probably mix in entirely different circles anyway. He, the vacationing riverside sect and you, the slogging 9 to 5er. So it's apples and oranges.

I was responding to the idea that westerners don't wear long pants, which isn't at all true. It might seem so looking at videos of tourist spots, I'm not sure why anyone would think that.
We have a pretty relaxed dress code in work, with only one restriction... And I'm wearing shorts right now, outside of work I nearly always do. I cycle a lot so long trousers just don't work for that either. If I'm going out in the evening to meet people or to anything formal I'd always wear long trousers too but that's rare. And I get pissed off because the pockets are tiny.

For fucks sake man, make up your god damn mind.

While we're bullshitting, what the hell are these? Is there such a thing as short trousers? Oh that's right you're from the British Isles. You probably use words like pantaloons also.

I'd better quit while I'm ahead. I can feel my utter disdain for you welling up from the depths of my bowel.

Why not let your girlfriend do it?

I live rurally and haven't worn long pants for years. All the long pants I brought with me are now used as rags. Only wear long sleeved shirts when it's uncomfortably cool.

Good enough for colonial officers, good enough for me (Kenya):

The disdain is probably from something you ate. After reading this you might get "disdain" again after eating crow.
