[quote=Anonymous]I live in the UK and I have to say that I find this whole thread to be at best bizarre and largely ethno-centric. My best friend was in DC recently and visted one of the very best Chinese restaurants, where he was not only asked to remove his shoes but put on the appalling pair of lemon slippers. He absolutely refused to do either and left. Yet he mentioned that he noticed before leaving the ludicrous sight of well dressed professionals in lemon slippers, the very people who on this thread object to removing their shoes when visiting ones friends or family. it seems perfectly acceptable to hide behind the veil of cultural necessity when one is asked to where his Armani Suit with silly slippers, but when it comes to the free choice of a householder to ask his guests to remove his shoes, then it becomes an imposition. Would someone please explain the difference.[/quote]
