That first pair of shoes… Got to teach them the phrase “hootchie” LOL.
Don’t forget to teach them the phrases for dust mask and surgical mask too.

Oh, at my centre “hootchie” is above and beyond hahaha. They know masks, but this is a country where public urination is the norm, recycling is non-existant, smoking appears to be compulsory … let’s not even talk about animal rights.

It all still beats San Francisco and LA though.
