Is it appropriate?

I think you're all being a bit harsh on the poor guy. I am told there are indeed a few places where it would be very appropriate to wear them . . . though leather would be better

plus a leather jacket

crotchless leather pants

leather vest a la Village People

etc

etc

That sort of thing is still illegal in Singapore. Please refrain from encouraging posters to break the law

If I were your wife, I would really be a bit concerned about your surfing habits!

If you were my wife we'd have four children and probably be world famous by now!

Boom-Tish!

nfinitefx,

No worries mate. As you can see, we often like to run with a topic. Brightens up the day. But sometimes gets a little bit disconcerting for newbies who haven't lurked around very long to see what can happen.

The only difference is your feet will be stinky, smelly, sweaty before AND after it rains and probably just as wet as if you didn't wear any boots at all.

What the other posters have ommited to mention is that it is considered polite to remove your footwear when entering a residence or other places. Not sure I'd be comfortable doing that after my feet have been in rubber boots.

Hey! Somebody dared to take this thread back on topic with a very good comment! Go after him!

Good point carteki, you basically have to take of your shoes whenever you enter someone else's home. Keep that in mind.

That's interesting. I'll definitely keep that in mind. Wouldn't wanna offend anyone. hahaha... Just as long as it's appropriate for public use is what matters most. If I do visit someone I'll have other options open.

Shibuya . . . excellent place! Well, it was when I was single . . .

I find it amazing how so very different the Japanese are from the rest of Asia. Good for them to be so individualistically idiosyncratic.

Can someone tell me what Shibuya is?
