In North America people never take off there shoes. That is why they have carpet in the house, because it hides the dirt and mud better then other flooring, so then don't have to wash the floor.
Seriously, that is what Kasper learned in school today.
Don't worry, I did correct him. Everyone I have meet in Canada, and people from the states, take off there shoes at the door. And they still clean the floors.
This is probably another one of the stupid reasons that people do not want to move out to the old base, they think it is dirty in the apartments, because no one ever took off there shoes.

ReplyDeleteEveryone on base there took shoes off before entering; the housing office really stressed keeping the carpet clean.
such a odd way of cultural studies you have over there in Iceland it makes me wonder what us Canadians schools teach about Icelandic ways in such probably all the wrong information. any ways take care and enjoy the odd things you have over there..
