ʻAʻole kūʻokoʻa nā Flip-flops i nā ʻĀsia Hema. Nui nā poʻe ma nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe o ʻAsia e like me Kina a me Iapana makemake hoʻi e ʻaʻahu iā lākou. ʻOiai ma ʻEulopa a me ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, kahi i ʻaʻahu ʻia ai ka poʻe i ʻoi aku ka conservative, ua ʻae ʻia nā flip-flops. Eia nō naʻe, ʻaʻohe wahi ʻē aʻe e like me ka poʻe ʻAsia Hikina Hema e ʻaʻahu nei i nā flip-flops ma ke ʻano he "maʻamau" i ke ola o kēlā me kēia lā, a i ʻole "ʻaʻahu" iā lākou i nā lole kuʻuna.
Myanmar: Hoʻohana nā luna aupuni i nā flip-flops i nā hālāwai
Makemake nā poʻe ma nā ʻāina ʻAsia Hema e ʻaʻahupaʻa-paʻa, akā inā pono ʻoe e koho i kahi "punahele", hiki i ka Burmese ke lanakila maʻalahi. He ʻāina ʻo Myanmar kahi e ʻaʻahu ai nā kāne a me nā wahine, me ka nānā ʻole i ka manawa, e ʻaʻahu nā mea āpau i nā flip-flops. Ma kēia ʻano, ʻo Thailand, Laos, Cambodia a me nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe i hoʻohana mau ʻia i ke kāʻei ʻana i nā kāmaʻa ʻili i nā manawa kūlana, ʻo ia ka "gap" me Myanmar.
Inā ʻoe e nānā pinepine i ka nūhou Myanmar, pono ʻoe e ʻike e noho pololei nā poʻe kālai'āina ma TV a mālama i nā hālāwai e kūkākūkā i nā pili aupuni me ka nānā koʻikoʻi, akā ke nānā ʻoe i lalo i ko lākou mau wāwae, ʻaʻahu nā mea a pau i nā "flip-flops". ʻAʻole kēia no ka mea ʻoluʻolu a haʻahaʻa nā luna, akā no ka mea ma Myanmar, ʻaʻole pono wale nā flip-flops i ke ola, akā maʻamau nō hoʻi a hiki ke ʻaʻahu ʻia i nā hanana kūikawā. He mea kūpono ke ʻōlelo ʻia, i nā manawa kūikawā, e ʻaʻahu ka poʻe Burmese i ʻelua mau pūkini i loko o nā flip-flops e hōʻike i ko lākou mahalo.
ʻO Aung San Suu Kyi, i kapa ʻia ʻo "Soul of Myanmar" a me "Symbol of Democracy", i kekahi manawa i komo i ka hanana hoʻomanaʻo e hoʻomanaʻo ana i ka pepehi ʻana i kona makuakāne, ʻo General Aung San, ke koa o ke kūʻokoʻa Burmese. Ua ʻaʻahu ʻo Aung San Suu Kyi i kahi pāpale keʻokeʻo maʻemaʻe, kahi sarong Burmese ʻeleʻele, kahi scarf ʻeleʻele, a me nā kīʻaha i kēlā lā, a hoʻomoe mahalo i nā pua i mua o ka hale kupapaʻu o kona makuakāne. ʻO nā poʻe hanohano "National League for Democracy" a me nā luna aupuni i hele pū me ia e hoʻomana i ka lā hoʻokahi, ua ʻaʻahu pū lākou i nā flip-flops e like me Aung San Suu Kyi.
I ka wā i hele mai ai ʻo China Communications Construction, kahi ʻoihana mokuʻāina ʻo Kina, i Myanmar e hoʻopukapuka kālā a kūkulu i hale hana, ua kānalua loa nā limahana Kina i ke kumu i hele mai ai nā limahana Burmese i ke kahua kūkulu e hana ai i nā kāmaʻa pale lima i hāʻawi like ʻia e ka hui. ʻAʻole hana ʻia nā maʻamau i ka lā hoʻokahi. Ma hope o ka hoʻomanawanui ʻana o nā limahana Kina, ua ʻae mālie nā limahana Burmese i nā kāmaʻa pale hana i kūpono i ke kahua kūkulu.
Manaʻo kekahi poʻe naʻauao e pili ana ka "aloha" o ka poʻe Burmese i nā flip-flops i kā lākou mau hoʻomana haipule. Manaʻo ka poʻe Burmese i ka Buddhism, a e hele lākou i ka luakini Buddhist e hoʻomana iā Buddha a noʻonoʻo i ka wā e loaʻa ai ka manawa. I loko o ka puʻuwai o ka poʻe Burmese, he laʻa nā mōneka a me nā kiʻi Buddha a ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻopā ʻia, a he lepo nā kāmaʻa, no laila ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke hoʻomaʻemaʻe i ka lepo o ka luakini Buddhist. He mahalo kēia no ka Buddha. No laila, pono e wehe ka poʻe Burmese i ko lākou mau kāmaʻa a me nā pūkini i ke komo ʻana i ka luakini Buddhist. I kēia hihia, ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o nā flip-flops i maʻalahi e hoʻokomo a wehe.
Indonesia: Ua lilo nā Flip-flops i kāleka ʻoihana moʻomeheu
ʻOiai ʻaʻole lākou e ʻaʻahupaʻa-paʻai nā manawa kūikawā e like me ka Burmese, ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole maopopo ke aloha o ka poʻe Indonesia i nā flip-flops. Aia ʻo Indonesia ma ka equator a ʻo ia hoʻi he "ʻāina o nā mokupuni he ʻumi tausani". Hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe o ʻAsia Hema, ʻoi aku ka wela a me ka haʻahaʻa o ke aniau o Indonesia. Makemake lākou e ʻaʻahu i nā flip-flops ma muli o ke aniau. Ua haʻi aku kekahi hoa Indonesia i ka mea kākau moʻolelo he nui nā wāwae o ke kuaʻāina o Indonesia e popopo ma hope o ka manawa lōʻihi ke komo lākou i nā kāmaʻa ʻili a me nā kāmaʻa haʻuki e like me ka poʻe Kina. ʻOi aku ka maʻa o lākou i ke komo ʻana i nā flip-flops a i ʻole ka hele wāwae ʻole. Ma nā kūlanakauhale ʻo Indonesia, ʻo ia hoʻi ma ke kapikala ʻo Jakarta, ke kūlanakauhale nui loa ma Asia Hema, aia nō ka poʻe e hele wāwae ʻole.
ʻAʻole koʻikoʻi ka hoʻokele kaʻa o Indonesia, a ua ʻae ʻia e hoʻokele i nā flip-flops. No laila, nui ka poʻe Indonesia e hele i ka hana a i ʻole e hele i nā hanana kūikawā. ʻO ka mea maʻamau, hoʻokele lākou i nā flip-flops a hoʻololi i nā kāmaʻa ʻili i ka wā e hōʻea ai i kahi huakaʻi. Hoʻopaʻa wale kekahi poʻe i ʻelua mau kīʻaha i loko o ke kaʻa.
Ma ke ʻano liʻiliʻi, ua lilo nā flip-flops i kāleka ʻoihana moʻomeheu o Indonesia, a lilo i ʻāpana o nā lole kuʻuna. I ka wā ma mua, ʻo ke komo ʻana i nā flip-flops no ka poʻe Indonesia ma muli paha o ka ʻilihune a i ʻole ke ʻano pilikino. ʻO ka hapa nui o lākou e hoʻohana i nā flip-flops haʻahaʻa e kūʻai ana ma kahi o 10 yuan hoʻokahi.
I kēia manawa, i ka lilo ʻana o nā flip-flops i ʻāpana o ka moʻomeheu Indonesia, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka nānā ʻana o ka poʻe Indonesia i ke ʻano a me ka maikaʻi o nā flip-flops, a ʻo ka hoʻopili ʻana i nā flip-flops ma ke ʻano he hōʻailona maʻamau. Ma nā hale kūʻai nui a pau ma Jakarta, hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i nā ʻano flip-flops kala like ʻole ma nā wahi a pau. He ākea loa ke kumu kūʻai, mai nā yuan liʻiliʻi loa a hiki i nā tausani yuan. Hiki ke ʻōlelo ʻia aia iā ʻoe ke koho ʻana i kahi pālua o nā flip-flops i kūpono iā ʻoe, me ka nānā ʻole i kāu papa.
ʻO Singapore: "Slipper Party" e huki i ka nānā
ʻOiai ʻo Singapore he ʻāina ma waho a me waho o ʻAsia Hema, me ka halo o "ka ʻāina hoʻomohala hoʻokahi ma Asia Hikina Hema", ʻo Singapore, ka mea i "kiʻekiʻe" mau loa, he mea paʻakikī ke hoʻopili ʻana me nā flip-flops o "nā kānaka papa haʻahaʻa". Akā ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, he poʻe aloha ʻo Singaporeanspaʻa-paʻa, a ʻaʻole lākou i haʻahaʻa ma mua o nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe, no ka mea, ua "hoʻokiʻekiʻe" lākou i ke komo ʻana i nā flip-flops i kahi nohona.
Pono e ʻōlelo ʻia ʻo Singapore, me ka nui o nā poʻe Kina, ua hoʻoikaika nui ʻia e Hong Kong a me Taiwan, a ua kapa pinepine ʻia nā flip-flops he flip-flops. Ke hele nei ma nā alanui o Singapore, inā ʻike ʻoe i kahi kanaka uʻi e komo ana i ka makani makani a me nā makaaniani, akā e ʻaʻahu ana ʻo ia i nā flip-flops, e ʻoluʻolu, mai kāhāhā ʻoe, ʻo ia ka lole maʻamau o ke kanaka uʻi ma Singapore. Makemake nō hoʻi nā kaikamāhine Singaporean i nā flip-flops waihoʻoluʻu. ʻO nā kaikamāhine makemake i ka nani, e holoi lākou i ko lākou mau wāwae a ʻokiʻoki i ko lākou manamana wāwae ma mua o ka hele ʻana i waho e hōʻoia i ko lākou mau wāwae i ke kūlana maikaʻi loa, i mea e hōʻike ai i kā lākou mau flip-flops nani loa.
Ua kaulana ʻo Singapore no kāna mau kānāwai koʻikoʻi a me nā lula. ʻAʻole ʻae ʻia ke komo ʻana i nā flip-flops ma nā hale waihona puke o ke kulanui. Eia nō naʻe, nui nā kāne a me nā wahine ʻōpio ma Singapore e komo mau i nā flip-flops. I ka hala ʻana o ka manawa, huli makapō nā luna hoʻoponopono.
I ke koho balota nui o Singapore i ka makahiki 2006, ua hoʻokipa nui ʻia kekahi ʻaoʻao kūʻē liʻiliʻi. Ua ʻaʻahu nā moho o kēia ʻaoʻao i nā kāmaʻa no ka hoʻolaha ʻana, no laila ua kapa ʻia lākou ʻo "Slipper Party" e ka poʻe media. Ua ʻōlelo ka "Slipper Party" ʻaʻole hōʻailona nā paʻipaʻi a me ka maʻalahi. Ua ʻaʻahu lākou i nā kāmaʻa paʻa no ka hoʻolaha ʻana me ka manaʻolana e hōʻike i ko lākou hauʻoli i ke ʻano o ka hoʻopili ʻana o ka ʻaoʻao aliʻi i nā hana kūloko a me nā ʻāina ʻē.
ʻOiai ʻaʻole hiki i ka "Slipper Party" ke hoʻāla i nā nalu i ka ʻoihana politika, ʻike ʻia kona helehelena mai kahi ʻano ʻē aʻe ʻaʻole ʻo nā kāmaʻa ma Singapore he lole kūpono a nani hoʻi, akā ke ʻano o ke ola o kekahi poʻe.
