[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're German (so, no, being Asian has nothing to do with it) and we also enforce a no shoe policy too. We just politely say "would you mind taking off your shoes?" Our friends and neighbors know this and have no problem. I've never heard of anybody being offended by such requests. Wouldn't etiquette deem that guests abide by rules of the hosts' house? [/quote] Do you mean you're of German heritage? Because I'm from Berlin, and I've had anyone ask me to remove my shoes there. It's a cold country with lots of tile and hardwood floors--not terribly comfortable. ANd not really part of the culture. Just curious.[/quote] BTW, Swedes & Russians also take off their shoes in the house. It's perceived as just an Asian thing in the US.[/quote]
