Booties and Slippers! You have to love the Japanese for their mania about clean floors.
Just last week I went to a meeting at a TEPCO (Tokyo Electric Power Company) office in Kawasaki. Everything wass going to plan unntill we had to ener the office itslf. Everyone was dressed in the most conservative of buisines suits, passive/deadpan business faces, and....little white slippers. We all had to swap our shoes for slippers (5 sizes too small for your average westerner mind you) at the door and spend the rest of our time there tottering around on our toes since our toes barely fit into them, and this left the rest of our feet sticking out the back. I'm not sure why, but I was the only one who was finding it hard to keep a straight face. I guess nobody else realized just how ridiculous we looked. ^_^
That's such a fabulous looking store! I was wondering what it was when I walked down Omotesando Dori to Cafe 8 last week. I *have* to check it out!
