Today's Sunday outing was to a lotus pond. Lotus roots are a very
common food, crunchy and hard, not much flavor on their own. The grandmother gave me a hat
and an umbrella to use today because the sun is sort of out. Most women and some men use an umbrella for shade. The Asian beauty aesthetic is a pale, white complexion. Frequent TV ads for whiting creams show their solution if you forget your umbrella: just bleach your skin.
