Japan
A pachinko parlour in Toba, Japan. There is a tremendous racket in these rooms as you can imagine. The Japanese are not allowed to gamble for cash so the prizes are cartons of cigarettes or prizes or grocery items. Toba is the home of Mikimoto pearls, where the women pearl divers are at. I had read about the pearl divers when I was a kid and was always interested in this place. Dad and I were staying at the top of a very tall hotel in Toba, and there was an earthquake in the night. I won't get up in the middle of the night for nothing except earthquakes. I shook dad awake and ran to the window and opened the curtain to look outside. He wanted to know what I was looking at. The tsunami dad!! No tsunami though. 
Japan hardly has the market on ugly shoes but we thought these took the cake. I am sure these appeal to Cailli though!

Horrible shoes!
How can you say that? They are bea-u-ti-fil!!I especially like the red pair in the top left corner. Why didn't you bring me back a pair Pammieeeeeee??????
Hi Cailli, I would have done but my suitcase was already crammed with tea pots (you know how that goes), paper umbrellas, tea pots, food, tea pots, and tea pots, so I didn't have any room for any red boots. Also, I don't know what size feet you wear so you will have to tell me!
