[BIHAKUEN]UVシールド(UVShield)

hamilton_l0ve Another time in college, at the end of the year we had a field camp and this one really sweet Asian girl was wearing her sweater with the hoodie on. I asked why she was wearing that when it was so hot, and she said she didn’t want to get darker from the sun, because the last time that happened, when she went back to China, her friends and dog didn’t recognize her.... Hahaha!! Too funny!

mercedesperezphoto Si alguien escribe sobre esto o te lo cuenta, no lo creerías. Por eso la fotografía es tan importante ♥️ Thank you, @chiyin_sim for bring us these.

olszewski_sfo We’d like to see a reportage on how the Chinese drive the extinction of tigers, rhinos, elephants and other endangered species.

hamilton_l0ve Yup! Sometimes you’ll see Asian ladies working outside in the heat, wearing long sleeves, gloves, pants and big hats.
