We were waiting for a bus in Xiamen and talking about shoes for some reason.
"What are those shoes with little holes called?" Alex asked.
"Tennis shoes?" I suggested.
He didn't look convinced, but this led to a lengthy-ish discussion between Mom and me about evolving terms for different types of shoes.
As Alex hadn't been throughly satisfied with "tennis shoes," he and I went on trying to hash out what term he wanted.
Shoes with little holes.
And then... it dawned on me.
Crocs.
They're very popular in China.
