No They Didn't

I figured if I was going to do a Blog, I needed to do it right, so for your enjoyment, you get two posts in two days. Now the truth is I have some extra time on my hands these days, so I am able to write a post more often, consider yourselves the lucky ones! Today I find it necessary to tell you about a major faux pas here in Japan. Now of course you all know about how here in Japan you don’t wear the same shoes indoors and outdoors, which does make sense, it does keep the floor cleaner, but what no one ever tells you is the horror that is known as the indoor shoe. Now this mainly applies to the men in this country, girls still have some sort of style and sense to them. But all of the men of course wear their suits everyday to work, very dapper and business like, and when they are out and about their shoes are very appropriate for the outfit, but as soon as they walk in that door and slip their shoes off, what do they grab……..yeah, you wont guess it, sneakers, (GASP) YES!!!! They wear sneakers with their business best and it is very common and very accepted. This is just something I can not accept, nor could I participate in, I mean I would be going against all of the rules that my dear Stacey and Clinton (stars of my favorite show, What Not To Wear) have taught me over the years. I need to write them a letter and see if they know the fashion mistake going on around the world. I have decided to make my entries shorted and then I can post more often. Entries soon to come will cover such topics as: Port buys a Japanese cell phone, Port goes to the Japanese beach (this will be posted only after it stops raining and I am able to go to the beach), and Port goes to the public bath (this will be posted only after I get up the courage to go to a public bath….middle aged, naked Japanese men scare me, but I feel like this is an experience I need to have and you need to hear about). If there are any experiences you would like me to try, please let me know and I will do them and them write an entry letting you know about me experience. This of course will only be possible if you, my fans, will give me ideas.

Stay classy,

PORT
