Aussie kids grow up in bare feet and thongs. In fact, thongs are such a part of an Aussie kid’s life that they don’t even get it when American kids laugh at them for calling them thongs… in their vocabulary a thong is something quite crude and not for children!
Aussie kids can run in thongs, bush bash in thongs, ride their bikes in thongs, hell – Aussie kids with a pony can even ride in thongs!
However, when you travel south-east Asia you learn things about walking in thongs that no Aussie childhood can prepare you for! Navigating mangroves, walking through wet-markets without getting that gross black shite all over the backs of your legs, making it through rice paddies with your thongs still attached to your feet and climbing jungle vines without releasing your thongs to the orangutans below.
