Diamonds or rust

While walking the back streets of Shanghai last Sunday, Theresa and I came across this woman. What caught our eye was not the fact she was doing laundry in the street but that she was wearing what looked liked some really nice pearls around her neck. This is a country of contrasts and this lady kinda sums it all up. What we also loved were the pink rubber gloves - I guess she has to make sure her hands stay soft and smooth while doing the laundry. The wash basin was also kinda neat - a bathroom sink/vanity hooked up to an outside faucet. Now there is something you don't see everyday - very creative use of material and space.
