Comparing Australia to Malawi
Malawi wears a lot of cultural things while Australians somtimes do but not very often. Malawian women wears skirt every time while the men wears normal clothing. In Australia their clothes are very fancy and can be very stylish. Some clothes they use are uniform where as they wear cloths but only using it for a job. They use clothes for the red carpet which a lot of actors use when they have fancy clothes. Malawians use the same clothes almost for a week!
