please don't wear thongs on your feet, they would surely drag behind and give your feet no protection! silk or grey aging cotton never looked good on feet, plus if there are skiddies, all and sundry would see! So! No! Thongs are not acceptable to wear in public.....
on another note.... I was in Shoprite last night... I found Pro Nutro...yay, I couldn't believe it.... I haven't seen it at MegaMart, where i usually shop although they do have Ceres juices - and do Shoprite too... Any South Africans looking for both can find them at Shoprite on Airport Road;-)

In the regular flip-flop wikipedia page, they say "In footwear and fashion, flip-flops (also known as thongs in Australia, jandals, slippers, pluggers, or go-aheads[1]) are a flat, backless, usually rubber sandal consisting of a flat sole held loosely on the foot by a Y-shaped strap"
Well considering I haven't moved to Qatar yet I can't guarantee this. But based on the research I've been doing (yes I have researched to make sure vegemite is available before I move there) you can buy it from Megamart or Shoprite. If not I'm bringing it in bulk supply and will sell it on the black market :P
Miss X, where can you get Vegemite I know you can get Tim Tams in Mega mart near the Ramada but I didn't know you could get Vegemite. Nice!!! I also heard you can get Cherry Ripes somewhere too. It is obvious that us Aussies are slowly taking over the world!!! By the way I wear my thongs everywhere. I also work in a heavily Brit expat environment but still proud to call them thongs even though i get laughed at all the time!

In summer I wear mine most of the time unless going out, out and then I switch to my other favorites my Connie's which I wear through most of winter as well...;)

For those of you who seem confused. This is a picture of thongs, which is what we call them in Australia. I think the rest of the world calls them flip flops.
kate_n - you can buy Havianas at Nails (the mannicure salon) in Royal Plaza. They have quite a good selection, but not sure how the prices compare with other countries. I bought a pair in the UK for £18 last summer, then paid about QR 100 for a pair there, but think they may have put the prices up since then.
haha asked by an Aussie. If there was a place in the world where you couldn't wear thongs, I don't think you'd find any Aussies in residence. If you're interested, apparently you can also buy vegemite and Tim Tams in Doha.

Red Pope jandals are what we call them in New Zealand. And i hate them. Jandals, Board shorts, wife beater = Douche bag.

Strange the world is grasshopper..
A nation that is into sheep running around wearing Japanese originating footwear called "Jandals"

Streuth!
WTF is a Jandal?

I do love the upper picture very much. They're just missing the hot pinkies:((
Summer time is up!
Salam
as long as you dont wear them with socks, because then you will be facing troubles with me....hate it when people do that....
And every other colour and pattern under the sun. They're the Aussie uniform.
Jandals.
I call these flip flops!
Salam
From a slippers thread to electronic circuit flip flops. Very interesting.
Also, I like the conversation between the both of you.

Thongs may mean underwear and sandals.
LOL Brit... :D

Speaking of mink lined thongs.. Not recommended in this heat..
i guess ppl are entitled to wear anything other than stilts :D
Jiya
To me, flip-flop is either T, D, SR, or JK... and you don't wear them.
Oh and by the way, THONGS in the UK, means something very different. Please don't walk around wearing those, or you'll be arrested!!

Flip flops ain't slippers! They are silly rubbery things that one wears on their feet and it makes them look like a good times bogan kind o guy.

Yes, of course. However, please don't wear them with shorts and a sleeveless t-shirt.

You can't teach experience...
.my rules.....

.
.but for me,
.tan, choc, beige, bone white, taupe.
any other nuetral but not black.
.
.
.
.
genesis: my rules:
- Only black, brown or tan.
- Never the same color twice-in-a-row.
- At lease a new one twice a year (Eid)
- Any other color is a big no-no.
- ostrich leather is so 90's
- Stick to Caretti and Tamima, nothing else.
the rules are:
- Only black or white
- Brown is a big no-no
- ostrich leather is so 90's
- Stick to the local fav. Brands (NO LV OR VERSACE);)
I wear nothing but animal hides.
in this kind of heat and landscape what would we want to wear other then thongs? I bought over 5 pairs lol
You will have no problem what so ever... I say stock up on your havi's though cos they don't sell them here
I wear a sandal every day (currently wearing model 4493 below)
.haram, illegal..

Long live the Aussie way of life!
Cool - thanks for your feedback!
whatever you're most comfortable with.. Mind you in Dubai I saw some people walking in the streets in barefoot.
but consider the weather as well.
I don't wear flip flops during winter!
The amount of leg, arm, cleavage/chest seems to be of more importance than feet.
flip flops are ok...
Jandals are ileagal in my perfect world.
whatever you feel like wearing is okay. it's up to you.:-)
mo lang!
LOL this is a funny question.
The locals all wear sandals--every day. Wear whatever you want (on your feet)
Flip flops are fine, as long as you haven't got minging feet!
