Not sure if this is a weekly event but early Sunday morning on the pedestrian part of Nanjing Street in Shanghai there were tables set up that were providing a variety of free services. I am also not sure if there was an age requirement, but the majority of the people receiving these services appeared older than 60. They were getting free haircuts, eyebrows plucked, umbrellas fixed, blood pressure checked, knives and scissors sharpened and even fingernails clipped. I would estimate that there were 50 or 60 volunteers and 300-500 patrons. I wonder if this is just a Shanghai thing or if it occurs in other communities.
