Many paintings and statues are of nudes - people with no clothes on.
So why did they start covering their naughty bits with fig leaves, which is a really BAD idea?
("Naughty bits" - I will leave you to your imagination as to what they are. There are also hundreds of words to describe them, from biological terms to very weird slang expressions!)

Why do naked people in art wear fig leaves? It's scary!

El Barrio Chino de Ciudad de México es un pequeño barrio dentro de San Juan Moyotlan, a su vez un barrio del Centro Histórico. Algunas de sus calles son el escenario de las celebraciones del Año Nuevo Chino. Pero durante todo el año se puede sentir la esencia y el sabor de China, su gente y sus tradiciones.

El pueblo chino tiene una larga historia de inmigración a México. Algunos vinieron con el famoso comercio del Galeón de Manila, que conectó Acapulco con las Islas Filipinas durante unos 250 años. Posteriormente se dieron importantes oleadas de inmigración china que trajeron trabajadores y mano de obra tanto de Estados Unidos como de la China continental.

Parte de la población china de Ciudad de México llegó como resultado de los disturbios en los estados del norte, como Sonora y Sinaloa, donde se les había permitido vivir y trabajar. En la década de 1930, las calles de Dolores y Luis Moya, en el centro de la ciudad, estaban repletas de lavanderías atendidas por familias chinas a las que, debido al racismo, no se les permitía mezclarse con los locales.

Sin embargo, los chinos prosperaron regentando “cafés chinos”, todavía conocidos por su “café con leche”, galletas de la suerte y bollos choux. Todavía hoy podemos verlos casi en cualquier lugar de la ciudad, pero la mayoría de estos cafés no son atendidos por personal de ascendencia china en la actualidad.

El café con leche chino, tradicionalmente se sirve sin intercambiar muchas palabras. Se vierte de una jarra de aluminio a un vaso octogonal, a menudo desde una altura considerable. El camarero espera a que el cliente indique cuánto café desea y el resto del vaso se llena con leche entera caliente. Todo el proceso es como un ritual.
