So Thai don’t wear their shoes indoors, including at shops and restaurants.  In a practice quite counterintuitive to the usual travel security, everyone just leaves their flip flops out on the street while eating or shopping.  Sometimes this leads to involuntary participation in the traveling flip flop game.  I was privileged to join this game when, upon leaving the best restaurant that I have yet encountered in this world, I found that my super nice Olukais had wandered on down the street.  A pair of decent, but not Olukai, slippahs were left in their place.  This sent Sarah into a treasure hunting frenzy.  She loves shoes and a treasure chase, so checking out every pair of feet going by on the street was no chore for her.  Alas, we have left the island and I am still the, not so, proud new owner of a pair of Thai flip flops.
