Wearing pajamas outside is perfectly fine

Когда ближе к зиме стало холодать и температура стала падать ниже 10 градусов, я стала замечать, что все больше и больше китайцев разгуливают по улице в пижамах просто повсюду...а что такого в том, чтобы прогуляться до магазина, выгулять собаку или забрать своего ребенка из детсада... И все это в теплой пижамке? Даже в центре города можно лицезреть такую картину. Так вот, на данный момент, это не вызывает у меня такого же удивления как в начале, и я могу сказать, что пижама – очень распространенная одежда в Китае. Вы можете встретить целые семьи, прогуливающиеся в пижамах и тапочках. Некоторые заменяют тапочки на другую обувь, но пижама остается неизменной. Такое впечатление, что народ возвращается с крупной пижамной вечеринки. Пижамы всех цветов и фасонов, мохнатые и стеганные, с мышками, мишками и котиками. И это у взрослых людей – класс #китай#странностикитая#китаец#китайцы#пижама#weirdchina#weird#strange#bestoftheday#traveler#travel#traveling#chinese#funny#interesting#cool#smile#chinatravel

Be careful while eating in China because they eat anything that moves from crocodiles, turtles, sharks, frogs to dogs, cats, cockroaches, and maggots. Their cuisine is extremely diverse and may leave you stun.
