Dopo 10 anni assieme, una sera camminando mi hanno abbandonata. Inblu sempre le migliori comunque!
Flip-flops are a type of sandal, typically worn as a form of casual wear. They consist of a flat sole held loosely on the foot by a Y-shaped strap known as a toe thong that passes between the first and second toes and around both sides of the foot or can be a hard base with a strap across all the toes (these can also be called sliders or slides).
This style of footwear has been worn by the people of many cultures throughout the world, originating as early as the ancient Egyptians in 1,500 B.C.
In the United States the flip-flop has been popularized from the Japanese zōri, after World War II as soldiers brought them back from Japan. They became a prominent unisex summer footwear starting in the 1960s.
The term flip-flop has been used in American and British English since the 1960s to describe the thong or no-heel-strap sandal. It is an onomatopoeia of the sound made by the sandals when walking in them. They are called thongs (sometimes pluggers) in Australia, jandals (originally a trademarked name derived from "Japanese sandals") in New Zealand, slops or “visplakkies” in South Africa and Zimbabwe, and tsinelas in the Philippines (or, in some Visayan localities, "smagol", from the word smuggled).
Throughout the world, they are known by a variety of other names, including slippers in Hawaii, Bahamas, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flip-flops

Due parole su queste infradito.
E' il 28 o il 29 gennaio del 2000 e sono a Chaung Tha Beach nel Myanmar (Birmania). Sono in viaggio da più di tre mesi e le infradito che porto si rompono. Sono un accessorio fondamentale e vado subito al mercato a cercarne un paio di ricambio. So che la ricerca non sarà facile perchè non siamo in luogo turistico e i birmani hanno dei piedi piccolissimi. Riuscirò a trovarne del numero giusto? Miracolo! In un banchetto ci sono queste, made in Thailand. Il prezzo, per essere in Birmania, è alto, ma non discuto. Sono passati più di venti anni e continuano a girare il mondo!
