These days I never go anywhere without my beloved umbrella, aside from my phone (with google maps, one can never be lost!), it is the most useful tool for getting around successfully.
- Most obviously, it provides protection from rain (of which there has uncharacteristically been a fair amount of)
- More importantly now that it is summer, it acts as a sunshade, rendering hat and sunglasses unnecessary
- Protects from low hanging branches, poles, wires etc.
- Protects from unexpected discharge of household waste from street side apartment buildings (happened just this morning!)
- Makes me look more local, therefore less likely to be ripped off at the market
- Finally, will aid me in achieving what the Chinese perceive as the ultimate complexion- pale porcelain, perfect. (maybe this is just a pipe dream…)
- I’ll rephrase: will lower my chances of getting skin cancer.
P.S I heard about Taiwan today, and it is all finalised, I’ll be there in September!
