EMyanmar: Izikhulu zikahulumeni zigqoka ama-flip-flop emihlanganweni
Abantu basemazweni aseNingizimu-mpumalanga ye-Asia bathanda ukugqokaophaca, kodwa uma kufanele ukhethe "intandokazi", amaBurma kufanele akwazi ukunqoba kalula. IMyanmar yizwe lapho abesilisa nabesifazane, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yisiphi isikhathi, bonke begqoka ama-flip-flop. Ngokuphathelene nalokhu, iThailand, iLaos, iCambodia namanye amazwe asasetshenziselwa ukugqoka izicathulo zesikhumba ngezikhathi ezisemthethweni namanje "igebe" neMyanmar.
Uma uvame ukubuka izindaba zaseMyanmar, kufanele uthole ukuthi osopolitiki ku-TV bahlala beqondile futhi babambe imihlangano ukuze baxoxe ngezindaba zezwe ngokubheka okujulile, kodwa uma ubheka phansi ezinyaweni zabo, wonke umuntu ugqoke "ama-flip-flops". Lokhu akubangelwa ukuthi izikhulu zikhululekile futhi ziyaxega, kodwa ngoba eMyanmar, ama-flip-flop awasona nje isidingo sempilo, kodwa futhi ahlelekile futhi angagqokwa ngezikhathi ezisemthethweni. Kuhle ukusho ukuthi ngezikhathi ezisemthethweni, abantu baseBurma bazogqoka amasokisi ngaphakathi kwama-flip-flop ukukhombisa inhlonipho yabo.

Izicukuthwane ze-"National League for Democracy" kanye nezikhulu zikahulumeni ezazihamba naye ukuyokhonza ngosuku olufanayo nazo zazigqoke ama-flip-flop afana no-Aung San Suu Kyi.
Ngenkathi i-China Communications Construction, inkampani kahulumeni waseShayina, ifika nje eMyanmar izotshala imali futhi yakha imboni, abasebenzi baseShayina bamangala kakhulu ukuthi kungani abasebenzi baseBurma beza endaweni yokwakha bezosebenza begqoke ama-flip-flop esikhundleni sezicathulo zokuvikela abasebenzi ezazisatshalaliswa ngokufanayo yilophiko. Imikhuba ayakhiwa ngosuku olulodwa. Ngemva kokuba izisebenzi zaseShayina zichaze ngesineke kaninginingi, izisebenzi zaseBurma zazamukela kancane kancane izicathulo zokuvikela abasebenzi ezilungele indawo yokwakha.
Ezinye izazi zikholelwa ukuthi “uthando” lwabantu baseBurma ngama-flip-flop luhlobene nezinkolelo zabo ezingokwenkolo ezizinikele.

Lokhu ukuhlonipha uBuddha. Ngakho-ke, abantu baseBurma kufanele bakhumule izicathulo zabo namasokisi lapho bengena ethempelini lamaBuddha. Kulokhu, ama-flip-flop okulula ukuwagqoka nokuwasusa alula kakhulu.
I-Indonesia: Ama-Flip-flops aba ikhadi lebhizinisi lamasiko
Nakuba bengagqokiophacangezikhathi ezisemthethweni njengamaBurma, empeleni, uthando lwabantu base-Indonesia lwama-flip-flops nalo alunambangi. I-Indonesia itholakala enkabazwe futhi “iyizwe leziqhingi eziyizinkulungwane eziyishumi”. Uma kuqhathaniswa namanye amazwe aseNingizimu-mpumalanga ye-Asia, isimo sezulu sase-Indonesia siyashisa futhi sinomswakama kakhulu. Bathanda ukugqoka ama-flip-flop kakhulu ngenxa yesimo sezulu. Umngane wase-Indonesia utshele intatheli ukuthi izinyawo eziningi zabantu basemakhaya e-Indonesia zizobola ngemva kwesikhathi eside uma begqoke izicathulo zesikhumba nezicathulo zemidlalo njengabantu baseChina. Bajwayele kakhulu ukugqoka ama-flip-flops noma ukuhamba bengafake zicathulo. Emadolobheni ase-Indonesia, ngisho nasenhloko-dolobha iJakarta, idolobha elikhulu kunawo wonke eNingizimu-mpumalanga ye-Asia, kusekhona abantu abahamba bengagqokanga zicathulo.
Ukulawulwa kwethrafikhi e-Indonesia akuqinile, futhi kuvunyelwe ukushayela ngama-flip-flops. Ngakho-ke, abantu abaningi base-Indonesia baya emsebenzini noma baye emicimbini esemthethweni. Ngokuvamile, bashayela ngama-flip-flop bese beshintsha izicathulo zesikhumba lapho befika lapho beya khona. Abanye abantu bamane bagcine ama-flip-flop emotweni.

Ibanga lentengo nalo libanzi kakhulu, kusukela kuma-yuan ambalwa ashibhe kakhulu ukuya ezinkulungwaneni ezibiza kakhulu zama-yuan. Kungashiwo ukuthi kukuwe ukuthi ukhethe ama-flip-flops afanele wena, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ikilasi lakho.
I-Singapore: "I-Slippers Party" idonsela ukunaka
Nakuba iSingapore nayo iyizwe eliphuma ngaphandle nangaphandle laseNingizimu-mpumalanga ye-Asia, eline-halo "yezwe elilodwa elithuthukile eNingizimu-mpumalanga ye-Asia", iSingapore, ehlala "isezingeni eliphezulu", kubonakala kunzima ukuhlanganisa ne-flip-flops "yabantu bezinga eliphansi". Kodwa empeleni, abantu baseSingapore nabo bangabalandeli abathembekileophaca, futhi abekho ngisho ngaphansi kwamanye amazwe, ngoba baye "bakhuphukile" begqoke ama-flip-flops endleleni yokuphila.
Kuhle ukusho ukuthi i-Singapore, enenani elikhulu labantu baseShayina, ithonywa kakhulu i-Hong Kong ne-Taiwan, futhi ama-flip-flops avame ukubizwa ngokuthi ama-flip-flops. Ukuhamba emigwaqweni yaseSingapore, uma ubona insizwa ebukekayo egqoke i-windbreaker nezibuko zelanga, kodwa igqoke ama-flip-flops, sicela ungamangali, leyo ingubo evamile yomfana osemfashinini eSingapore. Amantombazane aseSingapore nawo athanda ama-flip-flops anemibala. Amantombazane athanda ubuhle azokhuhla izinyawo zawo futhi aphungule izinzipho ngaphambi kokuphuma ukuze aqinisekise ukuthi izinyawo zawo zisesimweni esihle kakhulu, ukuze abonise ama-flip-flop awo amahle kakhulu.
ISingapore yaziwa ngemithetho nemithetho eqinile. Ukugqoka ama-flip-flop akuvunyelwe emitatsheni yolwazi yamanyuvesi. Nokho, izinsizwa nezintombi eziningi eSingapore zisangenela ama-flip-flop. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, abaphathi bavala amehlo.
Okhethweni lukazwelonke lwaseSingapore lwango-2006, iqembu elincane eliphikisayo ladonsa ukunaka okukhulu. Abangenele ukhetho baleli qembu bonke bebegqoka iziliphu uma bekhankasa, ngakho abezindaba bebebuye babizwe ngokuthi “iQembu Lomcibisholo”. I-"Slipper Party" yathi ama-slipper awafaneli ukupakishwa nokulula. Bebegqoke iziliphu uma bekhankasa ngethemba lokuthi bazozwakalisa ukungenami kwabo ngokupakisha kweqembu elibusayo ezindabeni zakuleli nezangaphandle.
Nakuba i-"Slipper Party" yehlulekile ukuvusa amagagasi enkundleni yezombangazwe, ukubonakala kwayo kubonakala kukhombisa ngakolunye uhlangothi ukuthi ama-slippers eSingapore awazona nje izingubo ezilula futhi ezinhle, kodwa futhi nesimo sengqondo sokuphila kwabanye abantu.
