Chunky "Masai" raver shoes eliminate cellulite. The Masai Barefoot Technology shoe is a big raveware-looking sneaker that changes your gait to something like that of a barefoot Masai treading the grasslands and is rumoured to elliminate cellulite.
The shoe feels strange at first. The top two-thirds of it look like a fairly orthodox running shoe, but the sole is bizarre. Two inches thick at the midpoint of the heel, it tapers gradually toward the toe and swoops upward at the rear, creating a cutoff effect. The wearer steps down on the fat part of the heel, the "sweet spot," and a springy sensor bounces back, encouraging the foot to roll forward toward the toe.
This, we are told, is the gait of the Masai people, renowned for walking great distances as they move their herds of cattle across the savannas of Kenya and Tanzania. They have no apparent cellulite.

So, I arrived to Newcastle with a few incidents last Wednesday. The flight was fine, slept most of the time. Arriving in London I left my laptop, with all the info, on the plane. A frantic run back and the help of a kind gentleman from British Ariways found my laptop in time to catch my connecting flight. Arriving in Newcastle we found our bags didn't make it. Not only ours, most bags didn't make it to the plane. We signed our lease, without looking at the apartment, which turned out to be fine, and got to our apartment. The bags arrived the next morning save one, that got here in the afternoon. Getting a bank account takes a week as does getting a TV, but we manage to get Internet and a phone quickly (if we had had a TV set we could have done the Cable too, all with one company). Here is one picture, you can see more by clicking on it or here. I can't post normally, Radio FTP client screws up from some places, and this is one of them, so the archives won't work until next Monday or Sunday. I think.
