| curl-6 said: As the summers here regularly get up to 45 celsisus/113 Fahrenheit, footwear is optional and it's not unusual to see people go to supermarkets and such barefoot or in the case of men even shirtless. Again maybe this is a thing elsewhere too, but it's something my non-Australian friends and acquaintances found to be a big culture shock. We also do sausage sizzles at election locations so you can buy a "democracy sausage" after voting. |
I get shirtless but I would think those kind of temperatures would make the concrete hot enough to burn your feet. Here in the USA it is not uncommon to see signs saying "no shirt, no shoes, no service". Normally up to the person behind the register if they enforce that or not. More strictly enforced in a restaurant than it may be in a gas station.
