These are the shoes I puchased in Busan, South Korea…worn and torn after traveling for almost 1 month and a half. Sadly, I had to give them up due to limited luggage space.

These are my new shoes which I purchased in Dalian, China. Yes, they have a map of China on them. We’ll see if they can survive for the rest of my trip.
