From this week I want to try something a little different. I will bring up a certain custom from a certain culture or group of cultures and then participants in the thread contest will answer the question and add their own perspective on this particular cultural practice.
Since I've lived in Asia for 15 years and was born in America, I have many ideas for questions regarding the cultural practice of these places but I also have some ideas for how to come up with some good questions relating to all different parts of the world.
We were short a few contestants this week but I received 50 LEO for the contest so I came up with some reasons to give two other people Leo prizes
Last week’s winners
Best threads (10 Leo)
Best engagement (1.5 hbd)
Ok so let’s get into it.
This week’s topic
“Do you wear shoes at home or walk around barefoot?"
In Japan almost 100% of people will take their shoes off at home and even in some schools and doctors offices, it's normal to take off shoes and put on in-door slippers.
What about you? Do you wear socks, shoes or nothing when you are at home? How do you feel about taking your shoes off in doors? Would changing this habit be hard to get used to?
