Shop managers don’t like you doing this. Some will quiz you to ease their worry that you are not in competition and about to steal a design.

Ladies using umbrellas on cloudy days seemed unusual when where was no chance of rain. It eventually dawned on me that Taiwan people avoid the sun. A tip many Australians could take note of. Australia probably has the world’s highest rate of skin cancer. Interesting to see the use of western models on billboards. An [...]
