Slacker’s new clothes… and shoes.

May 26, 2002 on 11:48 am | In Uncategorized | | Email This Post

My wardrobe sucks right now. All I really own are cargo pants, jeans, and free t-shirts that were handed out at job fairs and things. I need to upgrade to khaki’s and polo shirts for work. I’ll be taking care of that today. Maybe I’ll go crazy and even get some button downs…

Shoes are also an issue. I need to get some that I can take on and off in an instant. As you probably know, in Japan shoes are taken off upon entering the house, also in some public places, like when visiting temples and the like. If I remember correctly, shoes are even taken off when going school. Elementary, junior high, and high school all usually require shoes to be taken off, and a change to slippers necessary.

I hang out with a lot of ‘been to Japan’ types, and a lot of Japanese people as well. We had a party before I left Bloomington… and just like in Japan, everyone left their shoes at the ‘genkan’. Click the image to see where my clunkers are. If you care.

Well… they’re not exactly nice and straight like you should organize your shoes when in Japan… but hey…

Harvey out.
