Decidedly European

I have noticed that nobody wears Converse trainers here in Australia. This time of year (it's winter here in the southern hemisphere, remember) I always wear Converse when I'm not at work. Plus on Fridays when casual dress is allowed in the office. Around here, walking down the street in my Converse makes me feel decidedly European.

To put things in perspective - you see as many people in flip-flops in London in November as you see people in Converse in Sydney in June. There are some, but they are few and almost certainly foreigners.
