I keep forgetting to tack this bit of information onto other blogs so I guess I will make it a blog of its own.
There are so many types of shoes in Korea. Seriously...here it goes:
1. outdoor shoes: any shoes you wear in the streets
2. indoor shoes: if you like, you can be barefoot inside the home, if not, you can get indoor slippers.
3. in the classroom shoes: you can't wear your indoor shoes into the classroom if you walk in the hallways with them. these can also be slippers.
4. bathroom shoes: these are jelly-like slippers to be worn in the bathroom.
i find that in the course of my day i change in and out of various pairs of shoes at least 30 times per day. I come in, take off my outdoor shoes, put on my indoor shoes, walk to some places, come to my classroom, put on classroom slippers, then its time to go to a meeting, so i put on my indoor shoes until i walk to the place where my outdoor shoes are stored, put those on and walk to my meeting, only to do it all again about 100 more times.
The end.
