No Shoes Please, We're Singaporean
Tuesday, July 15, 2008
So Brother-in-law #2 finally landed on Sunday. Hubs and Sonny-boy made up the welcoming committee at the airport while I held the fort at home.
His first introduction to the Chinese/Asian culture not more than five steps into our hallway after the usual Dutch greeting of three kisses and a hi, how are you, came in the form of this request:
"Could you please remove your shoes before stepping inside?"
We are a Dutch household under the administration of the Singapore government.

hahaha!! I can't bear the thoughts of shoes stepping into the house too! Now, the thought of bringing new shoes into the house is another matter :P
I wrote about this on my blog & somebody actually showed me this blog that is devoted entirely to this
