Observations

On a recent warm spring day in college, Roger observed that those who were sitting in the sun were caucasians, and those who were sitting in the shade were asians. The Causcasians love the sun, many flock to the beaches in warm days. Many, suntanning on the beaches and at the swimming pool.

I remember the scorching days in Ho Chi Minh City. Bike-riding ladies dressed in long-sleeved shirts, long pants, with gloves, cloth masks and Non La on. The locals said that they are trying to prevent their skin from getting dark.

What a contrast.

i noticed that too! esp in the sunny queensland... maybe that's also why asians get less skin cancer?
