HA, HA, HA, HA!!!! China has loads of elaborate one-stop wedding shops, all with full-on frocks in the windows, like this lovely pink ensemble.
Everyday fashion in China also makes the mind boggle. Fat-gutted men (young and old) love to roll up their tank tops and flash their wobbly stomachs. Toddlers wear pants with slits up the back (their bums hanging out) so they can go to the toilet whenever they fancy, without the need to take their pants off, so butt cracks are everywhere. Meanwhile men have a weird obsession with pink polo shirts – every third person in the street is wearing one - and often their wives or girlfriends have one to match! It's not uncommon for couples, or even whole families, to wear matching get-up. At Beijing Zoo (home to several adorable pandas) we spotted a mum, dad and toddler son merrily walking hand in hand while sporting matching t-shirts. At Tiananmen Square a mother and son were proudly showing off bright green spongebob tracksuits. Loved-up teenage couples also express their adoration with matching t-shirts and big designer department stores promote it as the cool thing to do. Bryan and I embraced plenty of Chinese customs (including eating weird stuff like pigeon) but this is one trend we will NOT be embracing.
