It often boggles my mind when I am wandering through the streets of Shanghai, I would find the locals parading through the streets in their pajamas. Men, women, children...they all seem to do it. Men in particular, are fond of strolling through the streets in their undershirts and boxers. During the summer when it's extremely hot in Shanghai, the men will wear only the boxers. You'll find them sitting on the corner with their friends (also amply undressed) chatting away. I find the women tend to walk the streets in their pajamas and would either be walking their pet or shopping in the market or just walking with their friend and strutting their stuff.Today, after the soccer game at school, I was on my way to meet my friend Anne for lunch. A woman was slowly strolling along Jin Feng Road. Slowly sauntering, strutting her stuff and just showing off her pajamas. I was told that the ability to own a set of pajamas is a sign of prestige. Most locals can't afford it and when they have it, they'll show it off. Strange, but hey, I don't plan to walk the streets in my pajamas anytime soon.
