Walk in to nearly any European or North American pharmacy and you will find rows of products to help you fake tan and when the sun comes out loads of people head outside to get a real one.
Here in Asia it's the exact opposite. In each of the 6 different Asian countries I have visited I have spotted rows of 'whitening' products like this facemask in the photo. They have things in them to make skin lighter and in Vietnam I also learnt that women on mopeds will try and cover as much of their skin as possible to actually avoid tanning.
Isn't it funny that millions of white Western people are constantly trying to make their skin darker while millions of people in Asia, with naturally darker skin, are trying to make theirs lighter!
