Last week I had a friend who came to Geneva to visit.  I picked her up at the hostel at which she was staying, and while she was checking in, I came across these ingenious travel flip-flops in the hostel gift shop.

The red ones in the back show them as they come, completely flat in pairs.  The black one I’m holding displays how you can bend the pre-cut ends to meet, insert them into each other, and have an instant flip-flop.  I just stood there ogling this design for a whole minute.

These are great! We should sell these at our hostels.

This was a downright stressful post to write. How did I do?

CBC talked about us! That’s awesome! Also happy with the positive response in the comments.

Read about how our Lake Louise hostel came to be so fancy.

RIP MCA.
