"You are not taking your Gringo flip-flops to Brasil!", Bianca said a little over a week ago, "Take your Havaianas!".
And that was that.
Havaianas I guess are the national footwear in Brazil and when the sun is out and nothing else counts.
Me walking around in my gringo flip-flops would be a big no-no for her and a tell tail sign there is a gringo in the neighbourhood.
Personally I would think that my size (6"6) would give that away straight away but who knows?
You can find these flip-flops literally everywhere here. Even in the supermarket:
They come in all sorts of colours and models now.
I just checked wikipedia and they sell 200 million of these flip flops world wide every year!
Also a nice fact is that a Scotsman Robert Fraser in 1962 invented them.
A scotsman inventing Brasils national footwear, pretty cool!
I do like wearing Havaianas for short walks but for longer walks I prefer the more solid gringo flip flops that I got (at home..lol) or shoes.
But maybe I'm just not trained enough yet wearing them.
I Still got plenty of time in Brasil to get used to them properly.
