Back in the States, I think toe socks are sort of cute on girls.  Guys never wear them, but if girls have them on, I definitely give them kudos.

Almost every restaurant you go to in Korea, you have to take your shoes off at the front door and walk around in your socks.  About a week ago, I had dinner with a Korean friend of mine, and I noticed he was wearing black toe socks!  Different, but okay, I guess. 

Maybe it is hip for guys to wear toe socks!!! Maybe I should buy some!!!


Then last night, after eating dinner with a new from of mine from Boston, I told him about my recent discovery of the "hipness" of toe socks in Korea.  He then proceeded to laugh uncontrollably for at least fifteen seconds!!!

Why???

"In Korea, Mike, if you ever see someone wearing toe socks, it is probably because they have a TOE FUNGUS."

Oh...now I know.

Thankfully, I hadn't bought any yet...
