A Canadian in Beijing: Umbrellas Not For Fellas {Gadling}
Jun 6th 2007 6:08AM I noticed the same thing in South Korea when I was there - they like to differentiate parasols (the ones you use for the sun) with umbrellas (for rain) and so the women I met there had huge collections of parasols/umbrellas for different occaisions.
The reason people told me for only women using parasols was got to do with the traditional view of beauty in Asia - if you had pale skin, it meant you didn't toil in the fields and were probably of a higher social status, and therefore more attractive (correct me if I'm wrong!)
Have you seen people use removable sleeves/face masks to protect themselves from the sun as well in China?
