Hello I'm a junior high school student in japan.
I think about shoes of the custom in America
I hear that there are young people who take off their own shoes when they com into their room. In the living room they put on their shoes.
I think you may take off your shoes like in Japan. In Japan we take off our shoes at the door.
What do you think?
Thanks. |

Sure, I take off my shoes when I walk into the house. It does not make sense to track in dirt from the street.
I like to walk about barefoot in my house too. Even socks on my feet feel restrictive. (In your house though, I would not remove my socks.)
I think Japan is right on this, just as they were correct with the Honda Motorcycle! |

Chamorros also follow the same custom as Japan. My people also take off their shoes when they enter someone's home. That is also our custom. |

Japanese parents discipline their children to take off their shoes
In Japan. It's etiquette to clean our room.
By the way, this custom has a close relation to japanese mind.
This is an expression in japanese.
"Don't enter my heart with your shoes on! "
This is very interesting thing... _________________ HellO! I'm naoki.

I don't think so. This custom originates from feature of Japanese construction.
But Japanese people is very shy. |
