There is not much that can surprise me in terms of fashion in this city anymore. People walk around Berlin in literally every kind of outfit possible. And now, like a true Berliner, I don't even bat an eye at girls in short short shorts or men in skirts or totally obscene color combinations or crazy hats or polka dot pants. But yesterday, I saw a new one. A moderately scruffy-looking guy was riding the U7 with no shoes on. From the look of his bare feet, he'd been walking around for a while with no shoes on. Otherwise, his clothes were perfectly fine, if a little worn-out. He got off at my stop and was leaving damp footprints on the platform. I mean, I'm a lover of bare feet myself, but in a big city? Gross.
