Finally got round to updating the blog after being back in Australia over Xmas. It was a bit of a shock to leave the Sydney summer and arrive back in China in the middle of winter because it’s really cold in Shanghai with temperatures down below freezing. I know that’s not cold compared to some places – but for somebody calibrated to warm climates, it’s damn cold!

 The cold weather has brought out a new variant of the well known Shanghai pajama – a heavy duty, lightly quilted winter version! I was quite taken aback when I had my first sighting while wandering around the old part of the town near where I live.

 

I was even more surprised when I realized that the winter version could also be used as part of a tag team when popping out for some groceries from the market!

 

So you can imagine my amazement when later the same day I saw a very dapper individual using a very nice pair of tartan blue winter pajamas as part of his routine to engage with the opposite sex!

 

And I was simply speechless when it appeared to work!

 

Maybe I should buy a pair….or two!
