When I took this pic I was reminded of that guy who kept posting up pics of ladies with umbrellas hehe Did you know parasols are different from umbrellas such that parasols are meant to protect from the sun whereas umbrellas are to protect from the rain? I've noticed that we in Brunei, although we have 2 seasons - rainy and rainier - hardly use or buy umbrellas. Most just decide to divert and visit establishments with basement parking when it starts to rain, and if they really have to, choose to use free umbrellas and help advertise their bank/car/insurance agent. I for one dislike using brollies especially the small collapsible types as I've experienced that satellite effect one time too many.

I like collapsible umbrellas because they have a larger lighting area while able to collapse for easy transport in a light kit...
Wait...
We're not talking about using them for lighting, are we?
argghhhh... Huahahhaha... kurang sambal .... nakal ah ...
... of course there's a noticeable difference between parasol & umbrella .... DURING the Victorian Era ...
.. nowadays .. parasols are mostly use at patios ....
.. and thou .... now ... etymology would suggest that ... umbrella is the modern western definition for parasol ....
.. macam golf bah .. why do they still call it wood when it is no longer made of wood ... ;P ;P
