Tourists all over the world: please STOP wearing socks in sandals!
G'day. I just cycled to the supermarket and back. And yes it was beyond 250 meters, so yes certain bodyparts are threatening to just sue me right now.
On the way back into town, I decided to treat myself to a nice latte from that quaint little coffee shop near the Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk. I love it, it's small, homey, pleasant and not part of any big chain such as Starbucks, Costa, ... Allthough I am a Starbucks fan, I have to confess, I have about 10 of their big mugs from all over the world.
Radica and JJ from Oz bought me the cutest 'nice' and 'naughty' mugs from Starbucks :-)
And I remember my first Starbucks coffee, I was very young, I was in New York city for the first time in my life, I was on my own, and I remember just feeling very grown up and trendy sipping my overpriced latte. A feeling I will never ever forget and still makes me smile.

Back to Brugge. Sitting on a bench, in the sun, near the church, watching the world go bye. All kinds of people: locals trying to avoid getting run over by tourists, tourists trying to avoid getting run over by locals, couples holding hands, friends taking pictures of each other, teenagers complaining to their parents that all the buildings in this city are old (somebody forgot to mention to them Brugge is medieval city...).
And then the groups of tourist, eyes open wide, panicking at the thought of losing their tour guide and being lost forever in this medieval city with little alleys and canals... Follow the umbrella people, whatever you do, hang on for dear life to that umbrella...
Suddenly I found myself surrounded by a group of Russian tourists. Bushy eyebrows I can live with. Bewildered ear hair, ok. But not socks in sandals please, it's got to be the most ugly sight in the world.
No, socks in Crocs has to be the most ugly sight in the world.
Anyway, it's not only the Russians of course. Any nationality. Any age. Any sex.
Make the world a better place, no more socks in sandals, thank you very much.
