Hello Aisha. yeah, me too, like the colors.

some still do wear them, I suppose. Others collect them just for keepsakes.

Thank you Dong. No probs here. Your photos are amazing too. Gonna visit it every now and then..

Andree, yes it is fascinating. it’s a wonder that they dont easily break. the demonstrator even tried doing it but the shoes are rock hard. ie why they last forever..

I didn’t know that about the shoes. That is fascinating. They last forever, too!

You’re description of a word as Imeldific is very fitting to the political chaos of the country Philippines. Incidentally, tomorrow is another EDSA Revolution anniversary. If I’m not mistaken – the 22nd…
You’ve got lots of travel photos out there which I myself enjoyed viewing. We have the same interest, no wonder why…

by the way, I have added your site to my blogroll (you may see it with the title “Travels in Time”).

Please don’t wonder if I can’t frequent your site regularly. I have tight schedule that prohibits me from doing so. More so, I didn’t have internet connection at home.

Much as I would want to visit all in my blogrolls regularly, but it’s impossible for the moment. But I promise I would visit your site when convenience of time prevail…
Thank you very much. Keep on shooting!

I used to have a pair of clogs when I was younger. We went on a school trip to the snowfields in NSW (Australia) and there was a clog shop there – not sure if it still exists, but it was very popular. Enjoy your weekend.

clogs from Korea and Japan were displayed in that tourist spot. tourists from all over the world buy them, and like heather’s daughter’s clog, they sell different designs too.
