King Kung Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Wearing shoes indoors is quite offensive to many Asians. It's viewed as low-brow, slovenly and unclean. Humans seem to get wound up over their unique cultural norms. I wonder if the Delta Airlines seat poo was of the pebble, pudding or purée variety. Imagine being the unfortunate ticket holder of that soiled seat waiting in Detroit for the return trip to China. "Lawdy, Shaniqua, you smell sumpin funny?"

cavanami Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 In Japan, houses/rooms were built such that if you had to step up to enter, it means take your shoes off. I have worked in factories in Japan and no shoes, but they kept the floors clean and/or provided you with slippers. No fuss, no mess in Japan for this custom, not the same in China...
