I am from thailand. In my school time back 20 yrs ago, some teachers really like to cane on our bear calves as we all wore shorts. It did hurt and left marks to be himiliated. We had to pull socks up high to hide the marks but we could not do that while taking the stroke as the teacher will roll our socks down and give us more strokes!! I just wonder, as nobody here is talking about caning on the calf muscle.
