Crazy Tiger π― Writer βοΈ in China π¨π³: Shanghai then Shaoxing πΈ
Updated: Dec 31, 2020

It would not be a Tigrefou expedition without a photoshoot! Β Shanghai's modernity was the perfect location for what I would call my "metal, space punk" outfit. Β One of the warnings from my family, that I did not heed, was to not stand out and be different. Β Wanting to be mindful of the cultural and societal limits, I asked my cousin, who is a Mainland native, if it would be okay to dress up and take pictures. Β Being a bit of a rebel herself, she thought it would be great to expose people to something that might be out of the ordinary, and that people would probably just think I was weird.
It was interesting to note that without a context to place why a person might dress up in such an outfit, people did tend to move away from me. Β However, once there was a photographer, it was considered acceptable to dress in such a manner. Β Overall, we had a great time and the images taken will be revealed at a later date π.
