Ayi* on Wheels

Ayi on Wheels
A memory from the last trip to Yunnan, where women of age, besides wearing the compulsory white gloves, over-sleeves and those iridescent sun-masks that make them look like astronauts, gear up their electric bikes with these spectacular umbrellas.

*Ayi: literally “auntie”, it is also the general term used to address ladies that seem past their young age.
