Most narrow streets in Shanghai double up as washing lines and I sometimes have to duck out of the way to avoid someone’s low hanging bloomers. I’d be ashamed to hang my gear out- there’s more hole than sock half the time. Still, if the 20 million people who live here were all using electricity to dry their laundry….well something bad would happen. That’s for sure.
Recently I saw a street where instead of old shirts there where huge sides of fish and scores of birds drying off instead.
If I had a kitchen (still in a hotel at the moment unfortunately), I would have been tempted to buy one of those ducks/geese above, and then enjoyed the rest of the day working out how to cook the thing.
Instead I had egg and chips.
