Observation - Modesty

Modesty in China is different than in the USA.  Disclaimer - these are my observations about China and the USA and this is not a scientific survey...
In China both men and women are more to wear more clothes.  When we might wear shorts and short sleeved shirts - the Chinese are wearing long sleeve shirts and coats and certainly not shorts.....
 
Another modesty observation is that in a women's locker room - American women dress (or undress quickly) shielding their bodies with towels or behind curtains or simply turned into the locker.  On the other hand Chinese women - young or old,  nice body or not  - do not shield their body or turn towards the locker.  They simply undress and walk around nude without vanity, embarrassment or shame.
