China 43: Car wash
25 February 2009
Appearances are what are being shined here. Like haircutting, which is basically en vigeur 24/7, getting your car washed falls into the category of rituals one must observe to maintain appearance in bestest mode at all times (intricate to simply being Chinese). Even though the north of the country is trying to find solutions to solve its worst draught in years, car washing seems to be an unquestionable habit.

Imagine I once taken a Porsche to this kind of carwash in Shanghai….it was really surreal.
Similar anomalies as in Cambodia where I saw people who lived in 2m by 2m huts, but who had a 68sm flat screen tv.
