Silly Chinese Sun Visors

I came across a good post from Sinosplice, a popular China blog, I thought I'd share. It concerns one of the many funny things Chinese people do which I don't think I've mentioned or gotten any good pictures of, which is to wear enormous face-shielding visors on sunny days. In China, and it seems most Asian countries, girls in particular are obsessed with getting lighter skin, not darker. Girls are often seen using sun umbrellas or holding their books in front of their face on the way to class, but nothing beats the Mega visors that can be seen everywhere:
