So...a common thing here in South Africa is going barefoot! Its so random and really funny at times. And believe me EVERYONE of all ages does it. You know in the States we have probably all been in the situation where we are watching after kids and someone has forgotten their shoes! This normally means that whatever you were getting ready to do has to be put on hold while we turn the car around and go fetch the shoes that little Johnny forgot. Well here in South Africa if you forgot your shoes it was obviously intentional! You are a true South African, feeling the sand, dirt, scalding hot pavement, gross bathroom floor, etc. between your toes! People hike barefoot, go to public restrooms barefoot, go to dinner....they do everything TOTALLY barefoot! But we all know what this results in.....WALMART FEET!! You know what I'm talking about....one day just slip your shoes off in a Walmart and cruise across an aisle barefoot...when you get home your feet will be as black as the pavement!
As much as I love being barefoot...I think I will stick to my flip flops in public places not covered my fresh green grass or sand! :)
