I agree with you there harry, ;-) but I do think it's wrong to go into a restaurant without shoes on....anywhere in the world. --00--

A couple of months ago I saw someone walking around OR Tambo without shoes on!! :-?

And what must foreigners then think if it is allowed here? :-(
This is NOT overseas, this IS South Africa.....why do people always think we must be/do like other country's :evil:
Anyway I'd rather braai and make my own food when in KNP \O X#X
Exactly, why come to a different country to experience the different cultures and then want it to fit in with your ideals at home?

What is the difference between having a plakkie on or bare foot?

You can see the Europeans, they wear sandals and socks. 0*\ 0*\ Yet we who go barefoot as it is pretty natural are uneducated? 0- =O: =O:
Everybody climbs on the organic bus and wants to keep and experience nature as close to its natural element as possible, yet going barefoot is frowned upon? 0- 0-

It is symbolic and a sign of respect and civilisation! A plakkie or sandal is fine! \O :yes:

Harry, if someone is barefoot they automatically assume they are Afrikaners, that is another problem. :evil:

Here we are talking strictly about personal opinions and not what you can do or not.

It was supposed to be a fun topic, not a serious one O**

No ti is not suitable, in my opinion. And it is dangerous to walk around barefoot with all the snakes and scorpions...

When I see people barefoot in the Kruger, I don't think they are Afrikaners but rather European tourists wishing to appear cool and in connection with nature (except little blond children).
