Paper umbrellas are famous in Meinong. Everybody knows about paper umbrellas. Japanese people like paper umbrellas very much, because paper umbrellas are a special and beautiful thing. My grandma likes them very much, too. The owner of the paper umbrella company suggested that some oil be be brushed onto the paper umbrellas. Oil is waterproof. So, some people did that, but the paper umbrellas had a flaw. They were very heavy. Still, everybody takes it to go out. It is not very convenient. The paper umbrella culture is still famous in Meinong. Some tourist groups like to go there. The paper umbrella culture has a lot of paper umbrellas. So, I want to go there the next time I have a chance.
