[quote=YINDUFFY,294256]About three years ago the Wall Street Journal ran a front page story about how common the practice was of older men to not wear shirts in hot weather. At that time Beijing had started an awareness campaign to shame the offenders and remind others how some view the practice as disgusting. Last July and August we went to Beijing, Shenzhen, Jianjiang and Xinjiang's Shihezi and 148 Farm. We saw many men who apparently did not get the message. We also saw men who would hitch their shirts up to their armpits exposing their backs and bellies. My wife was repulsed by this. We would understand it if they were doing manual labor outdoors but many were just standing around, smoking cigarettes. Habits are hard to change and I think this one will outlast the 2008 Olympics![/quote]
