ROMANS: With summer temperatures hitting sweltering highs, many Americans are heading to the beach. Expedia has released its annual Flip-Flop Survey. Think of it as the best and the worst of the beach, according to beachgoers. Whether it's Speedos, skinny dipping or sand castles, different countries have very different ideas of what's fun at the shore. Here's our Richard Quest.</s>RICHARD QUEST, CNN CORRESPONDENT: The Flip-Flop Survey is a fascinating account of how we all like to spend our holidays. And what a diverse lot we are -- 17 percent of Germans have gone nude on the beach, a number that's up from last year, while 34 percent of Norwegians find something skimpy like the Speedos quite acceptable. Other countries, like the French, are also partial to something like this, whilst most other countries, particularly the Americans, want something more robust with gusseting. Ninety percent of Germans love to swim, and 52 percent of Indians, well, they like to make sandcastles. When it comes to our fears on holiday, 54 percent of Americans fear that their wallet will be stolen, 85 percent of Singaporeans fear sharks, while some fear drowning. Put it all together with fears and skimpy Speedos, it's quite amazing that anybody ever manages to have a break -- Richard Quest, CNN, on the beach.</s>ROMANS: We're here every Saturday, 2:00 pm Eastern, Sunday at 3:00. Until then, find me online. That's it for me.
