So this isn't a greatly exciting picture but wanted to point out something. See all the umbrellas, well thats what many of the ladies use to keep the sun off of them since it can be pretty hot. My mom also said that many of them use it to keep their skin from getting darker. I guess darker skin is a sign that you are from a migrant workers family which means lower economic status. Its kind of funny how in our culture many prefer to have a tan than bright white skin. It can be somewhat annoying since there are millions of people in Shanghai and umbrellas can take up lots of space on the sidewalk.
