In China the umbrella of choice seemed to be the fold up variety but here it is all about the big one. I like it, it's a bit more substantial and provides far more coverage. It also helps that outside every store or in this case the library, there is an umbrella rack.
Of course there is always the risk that you can't find your own when you go to leave. Luckily people here seem to have a pretty relaxed attitude to umbrella ownership. On Friday night, standing in the rain while trying to hail a cab a guy came out of a store to lend us one. This we promptly lost outside a bar, mistakenly taking another instead! Whoops.
