Common cultural behavior between Korea and Sweden

When I in the early eighties moved to Sweden, I found it very, very strange that everybody took their shoes of when entering a home. Don’t get me wrong here, of cause one has a dry clean pair of shoes to put on when the weather requires it. No, not in Korea, you're oblidged to take your shoes off and NO indoor shoes to be putted ON! Nice dress without shoes ruins the outfit. Men in suites going on socks look at the least said, ridiculous.

In Korea this behavior has developed! Here the host has slippers standing ready for their guests…………………………………

Charming or????
