I was in one of the more upmarket shops in Kota Kinabalu this morning. There was a cleaner at work mopping the floor when she came across a piece of plastic string. Rather than bend down to pick it up, she slipped off her slipper and picked it up with her toes.
Only in K.K.
Love this place.

- My life has been described by one of my editors as “impossibly exotic” – although really it is not my life, but me, that’s the exotic. I’m the uprooted plant, the exotic who doesn’t belong, always living in someone else’s backyard...

Toes are my preferred option at home. Have been ever since I hurt my back - but as a cleaner in a public place? I'm not so sure. I think I'd feel less comfortable using them there. It is a practical solution though.
