"Ahh! Gaijin da!" "It's a foreigner!" the kid screamed after rounding the corner of the supermarket aisle and running into me. He quickly turned on his heels and darted off to find his mother. Yes, there was no doubt about it, I was a gaijin, a thing to shock small children and adults alike

Geta
I hadn't realised until I started posting random Japan photos, just how much I like taking images of footwear. Japanese footwear at least. You'd never guess that I was into shoes would you?
I have worn geta (or should that be "getta"?), but the moer casual style with a yukata. They are surprisingly comfortable. I've worn the type like the ones in this photo once and found them really scary. I thought I was going to break my ankle. They look really cool on someone that can walk in them though.
Have you worn geta? Are they comfortable or hard to walk in?
