I can’t tell you how many Chinese people have told me:

你穿的太少了！, or “Ni chuande tai shaole!” which roughly translates to, “Why aren’t you wearing more clothes, you crazy American?”

Usually I just wear a single pair of jeans when I go out, but as I’ve been reminded of on numerous occasions, that’s daft. So I finally broke down and went the Chinese way – a thick spandexy layer beneath my jeans to keep out the piercing cold. I decided to film this adventure, and was able to get some other cool footage of a typical day bargain shopping here in China.
