Chinese person B: Okay! Look up the word for short skirt.
Chinese person A: Got it! Tutu!
Chinese person B: Haha! This is easy. Only stupid people would pay for a translator.
Indeed. Why pay when this way is sooooooo much more fun!
(The green sign says, in Chinese translated into English: "Entry forbidden to those wearing shorts, skirts and other unsuitable clothing." Oddly, they didn't enforce it. Lots of male tourists were wearing knee-length shorts. In Chinese culture, wearing shorts in public is basically improper. Shorts are for fishermen and little boys, they say.)
Buddhists in Taiwan and Paris should go to this back alley in Beijing to get their garb. There was no indication as to where Buddhists from other countries might go for their garb ... or even if Buddhists from other countries are even expected to have garb.
Honestly, it's not my problem.
