doorway
Every.one. takes their shoes off at the door at apartments, doctors offices, some karaoke places, some restaurants. I like it a lot, it seems cleaner, even though I usually take my shoes off in the US too. I just don't like the clunky sandals that are way too big that you have to wear if you're clunking around the building (like to the bathroom or at the doctors office)
But if you saw the sidewalks here you would understand why everyone does it, lol. Very dusty and lots of spit.
Also my room is heated by hot water underneath the floor. It's very comfortable, I love it! I love coming home and sitting in front of the tv on the floor eating dinner XDD then I usually lay down and try to fall asleep XD By the way, I don't know why that phone is there, it doesn't work..
