The rolling up of the tee shirt, peanut milk some of my favourite 'cars ' and the Chinese guy with a beard!
The rolling up of the tee-shirt ( aka the Beijing bikini)
There is a strange phenomenon here, I've called it 'the rolling up of the tee shirt', but since heard it called the 'Beijing bikini'! It happens when the weather is hot, and unfortunatley it only happens to the male of the species. He gets hot, so he rolls up his tee-shirt. From the pictures you can see that this isn't a narcissistic thing whereby you show off your six-pack, it's just something that 'happens'. It puzzles me because I sweat via my armpits, and every other piece of skin, but rolling my tee-shirt up under my armpits doesnt strike me as the best of ideas. Anyhow, its one chinese phenomenon that I dont think I'll emulate!
Peanut Milk
Favourite cars
Apart form the really tiny ones I've already included, here are two of the more unusual usual cars...just included them becasue I like them.
The Chinese man with the beard.
Shaving is not a big thing over here. Women don't shave their legs, they just dont grow hair on them, or so I am told. Men don't shave much because they dont have facial hair, again, so I am told, so when I saw this guy, I had to have a photo! A Chinese man with a real beard, not one of those whispy-wisemen things you see in Kung Fu movies! I was just walking back from the supermarket, he said hello. I said hello back, walked off then realised what I had seen! I went back and asked for a photo, he was reluctant at first but I persuaded him. Here he is in all his glory!
