A man rests at a “husband cloakroom” in a shopping mall in Shanghai on November 4, 2016.
With chairs, tables and even a massage sofa in the facility, the room is attractive place for men who would rather snooze than cruise the mall. Shopping is fun, but dragging a reluctant man around the shops with you can diminish the pleasure somewhat. For women in China, however, help is at hand with the introduction of 'husband storage' - fully equipped rooms where men can sit down, have a little sleep, and tut about their wives' spending habits to their hearts' content. A shopping mall in Shanghai is introducing laogong jicun shi (literal translation: husband cloakroom) which have proved a huge hit with spendthrift husbands who don't want to trail around the shops.(Photo: China News Service/ Zhang Hengwei)
