Slippers
Maybe it's a crazy idea but I'll write about slippers. There is a British series "Keeping Up Appearances" where Mrs Hyacinth Bouquet's visitors have to take off shoes before come in her house.
I'm going to write about my experience with slippers but first it's time give a chance someone who I really like. Kevin Aiston is very popular here in Poland. He is Britisher who lives in a small town near Warsaw. He is a firefighter and he took part in a very popular talkshaw "Europa da się lubić". He was like "People in Poland attack slippers anyone who come in their house . They are even ready borrow the slippers from their neigbors." Ok, it isn't so bad, it was just a joke. However he is right. We don't wear shoes in the house and it's really rude if visitor don't take off his or her shoes.
On the other hand I lived in the US where people don't take off shoes in the house. I don't know for who was more strange when I came in to my host family's house and I took off shoes. They because they didn't expect it or me becuase it was so normal for me. I did it because I respect their house and fact that anyone has to clean there. I needed a few days before I started wear shoes in their house. Do you know why I change my mind? Easy, I cleaned this house so I could wear shoes.
