Singapore is a tropical island country. Why is Singapore called "Flip-flops Capital"? Speaking of "the capital of XXX", most people's first reaction must be what this city is rich in, or what is so symbolic in a province that it can almost become a city's business card. For example, Yiwu, Zhejiang, the capital of small commodities in the world, is famous for its abundance of small commodities. Because of the existence of the responsible commodity city, the goods you have been buying all over the world may be printed with the logo "MADEINCHINA". Singapore obviously does not belong to this category. After all, no one really knows that Singapore is rich in flip-flops, right?

For another example, the peony capital of China-Heze, Shandong Province, has become the city's business card and the "city flower" of Heze. 20 12 according to the measures for the administration of naming license of China flower association, with the application of Heze municipal people's government, China flower association organized experts to inspect and review, and decided to name Heze as "peony capital of China".

After careful consideration, Singapore seems to be somewhat different from this kind of thing. If Singapore is called "the capital of flip-flops", it must be because the popularity of flip-flops in Singapore is high, covering a wide range of fields, and it has risen to the height of "culture". Singapore's unique "flip-flop culture", come and feel it?

0 1 Shopping should wear flip-flops at Orchard Road, a luxury shopping mall in Singapore. You think you'll meet urban beauties all over the street, carrying big-name bags and wearing elegant high heels. Results After entering 10min, only a few girls may wear high heels, others are flip-flops. Sometimes, holding a brand-name LV bag with flip-flops on the soles of your feet is simple and fashionable (in fact, Bian Xiao also wants this fashion). Some people even say that on Orchard Road, wearing sandals refers to locals, and not wearing slippers refers to outsiders.

So, standing on the street of Singapore, if you see a handsome guy in a coat and sunglasses, but he is wearing flip-flops, please don't be surprised. That is the normal dress of young people in Singapore fashion trends.

Girls in Singapore also like colorful flip-flops. Girls who love beauty will also grind their feet, manicure their toenails and show off their most beautiful flip-flops before going out.

Wear flip-flops to school/work In Singapore, it is common for college students to wear a pair of flip-flops to class every day and see experts and professors. However, this incident may have caused some controversy. The objection is whether wearing flip-flops is disrespectful to teachers.

On 20 18, a professional reader wrote to the opinion page of Straits Times, announcing that it was unacceptable for college students to wear T-shirts, shorts and flip-flops, and asking universities and colleges in Singapore to formulate dress codes and punish students who violated the rules. His point of view has also brought refutation from other readers, feeling that it is not so much how to match, but rather that it does not pay attention to students' autonomous learning. Everyone has different views on this situation, but after the argument, many college students still wear flip-flops to teach. From the point of view, nothing can stop Singaporean students from yearning for flip-flops.

There are also office workers who cannot resist the charm of flip-flops. Even the Singapore Airlines stewardess costume that Singaporeans are proud of is matched with exquisite double-heeled flip-flops.

Many office workers will also prepare a pair of characters to drag and drop in the company office, and occasionally give their feet a holiday. 20 18 12, Li Hongyi (son of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and grandson of the late Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew), who held a leading position in the Science and Technology Bureau of the Singapore Government, gave a public speech in flip-flops. Compared with other people's suits at the scene, he looks particularly relaxed in a pair of flip-flops, but he is confident at all.

You should also wear flip-flops in the general election. If the first two are similar in other places, this one will never be the same. In the general election in Singapore in 2006, a small opposition party earned enough attention. Our party's candidates are all wearing flip-flops, so they are also called "Sandal Party" by the media.

The "sandals and slippers party" claims that flip-flops represent no outer packaging and are plain and unpretentious. They chose sandals and slippers, hoping to take this opportunity to express their dissatisfaction with the individual actions of the participating parties at the diplomatic level.

Finally, although the "Sanda Party" failed to stir up waves in political circles, its appearance seems to show from another angle that sandals are not only convenient, fast and beautiful clothes in Singapore, but also the life mentality of some people. From this point of view, Singapore is well-deserved as the "flip-flop capital". What other unique cultures have you seen in Singapore?
