Shoes

I am now in a hotel near the airport, waiting for my flight home tomorrow. I'm spending 40 euros on a hotel room (the cheapest we can find near the airport) so that: 1) I don't have to rush from Lyon early in the morning (and it appears that there's a strike tomorrow as well), and 2) I don't have to take the Paris metro/RER with several pieces of luggage.

In the train to Paris, I thought of something that I wanted to blog about. You see, for the past year my shoes have been gradually falling apart...until I didn't have a single pair fit for wet weather (water gets in :( )

When I tell people that I don't want to buy a new pair of shoes (usually after they notice that mine are falling apart) because I don't want to have to take an extra pair of shoes back to Malaysia, they will usually say "But you can wear them back!" or "Wear them back lah!" (this has happened several times, though I can't quite remember with who)

Where's the logic in that? Did you think I was gonna go back barefoot?! *rolls eyes*

(Thankfully a friend lent me (gave me, actually, in the end) a pair of shoes that was still waterproof...though several people asked me "Aren't those bowling shoes?")
