Going out with a wet head!

One thing I love about being in the States is being able to take a shower and just leave without having to blowdry my hair! If this happens in Albania, numerous people will say "You're going to catch a cold!" even though I try convincing them over and over and over again that there is no scientific evidence of GETTING a cold from BEING cold (after checking with the doctor on our team, of course). They are convinced that things like sitting on concrete, leaving a window open so a breeze can come in, leaving the fan on all night (even if it's 95 degrees), sitting close to an air conditioner, and going out with a wet head (regardless of outside temperature) will cause near death pneumonia! Another favorite home remedy that I heard was for a fever. If you soak your socks in raki (moonshine) and then put them on your forehead, it's supposed to cure fever. I think it just gets your mind off the fever and onto other things (like the smelly socks!).
