Beat the Heat



People here have some neat ways to keep cool or keep out of the sun. I don’t see that many sunglasses, but these welding-helmet-like contraptions are very common, especially for women:


Parasols with highly reflective surfaces are carried by hand or are attached to bikes and scooters. Men, on the other hand, like to roll up their shirts.


I'm also seeing a lot of these little white capes that go over your shoulders and attach to your wrists to keep the sun off of your arms and shoulders. This seems to be particularly important while riding a bike.
