ok...? so the chinese used to bind their feet...that was to show daintiness. ...? care to explain beyond the links?

>>>I still see some of them around here in So.Cal. & back then in Manila.
I remember my father told to me the story about the lotus shoes.

whaaa? you mean people in Cali still DO THAT?? i thought they banned it in some countries in asia(if not all)??

>>>I've seen some old chinese women still wearing the lotus shoes in oriental stores being assisted by their offsprings.

oh...ok. i thought you meant they were still binding children's feet...you had me scared there.

f*ck that dood....ive heard bout it...im filipino too but ya kno, i havent heard of it being done newhere in the philippines, not even manila...either that, or im just lucky i didnt pass through that same section of town that you did where all thsoe bound feet are, hehe...

>>>Manila's Chinatown is one of them places.
