1- In Asia, yes. I prefer to take them off, but some folks in Western countries get weirded out if you immediately remove your shoes...and I don't like to play the "lived in Asia" card.
2- Yes, my mom made sure I knew that and my allergies as a kid, in case I got into an accident and had to go to the hospital.
3- California. |

| 1-Do you take you shoes off in your house? (has it changed being in Korea "if" you live here?) |
Yes. Also took them off most of the time when living back home. I definitely take them off in Korea. This is due more to all the spit on the street than the "custom".

| 2-Do you know your blood type? (If yes, how/when did you learn it?) |
Nope. I've been in lots of hospitals both here and home, but I still don't know it. I refuse to give the students the satisfaction. As someone else mentioned, mine must not be a rare type as the doctors would have warned my parents of the dangers when I was younger.

| 3-Where are you from? (Just country and maybe region will do) |
Eastern Canada. |
