One time I heard my brother in law Dan, whose has traveled around the world many times, say that he could tell where a person was from by the shoes he was wearing. The men here in India wear very strange shoes. It's hard to tell from just pictures although we have one with Fred's foot by it so that you can tell how long they are. They all wear these kind of shoes with the square toes and they always at least two inches too long for their feet proportionally. Although people seem to have fairly big feet even though they are for the most part short. Someday I will get a picture of the beautiful footwear the women have.
