This is one of those moments when you have to look twice. At first glance, everything looks normal, then suddenly you realise that the grown man you are looking at is wearing his pyjamas... At about 2pm. Riding a bike. On a main street in Shanghai. While eating a baozi (pork bun). When everyone else is properly dressed - look at the nice leather shoes on the other cyclist!
Admittedly, when we first arrived here almost three years ago we were surprised to see adults roaming in PJs at all times of the day, and we have since learned that it is a way to show your wealth - rich enough to buy clothes just to sleep in! It's way less common now... maybe more people can afford PJs.
