Really interesting and ironic to see so many Asians @ Niagara Falls last weekend wearing gloves and masks. Hasn't it always been the crazy Americans who are worried they are going to catch some deadly illness when traveling overseas? This fellow is on the "Rainbow Bridge", near the international boundary between the U.S. and Canada. Wish I would have taken more pics of some of the others, like the Japanese woman who was pratically mummified. She had mask, scarf, gloves, wrap-around glasses and what looked to be a jumpsuit of some kind. Didn't want to be rude and didn't have time to ask permission for her photo. I think it's a great statement and pokes fun at how cocky we Americans are. People from India are by far the largest group of foreign tourists to be found at the Falls on any given day, a sign of how wealthy people from the sub-continent have become or just an indication of their love for waterfalls and rainbows? None of them had masks. I wonder why?
