Re: Culture shock in a single country

[soldatsasha]

The northern homes I've been to (east and west coast) all had people wearing shoes inside. VERY dirty boots/shoes might get left, but mostly everyone just seemed to wear their shoes into wherever they kept shoes (closet/their room/bathroom/etc.). None of these homes had a... mud room (???) though, so I'm sure that makes a difference.

I have never seen a northern house or apartment either without a shoe closed at the entrance. That's where everyone keeps their shoes. I'm really boggled you haven't seen this, I'm guessing you haven't been to Minnesota/North Dakota/Montana areas?

Could be that the coasts don't do it, but they don't get the same amount of snow.

Re: Culture shock in a single country

Two of the homes were in Montana, one was a trailer in Minnesota, the others were Idaho, Oregon, Washington, northern Nevada, Pennsylvania, Vermont, New York (Buffalo), and New Jersey.

For a long time I assumed that those little rooms/spaces were something that American homes just didn't have. I knew people who took their shoes off inside, but they never had a separate place for the shoes. It wasn't until an F!S thread a few years ago that I learned that lots of American homes do have that.

I grew up in Minnesota and we didn't have any kind of closet anywhere near the door. The house my parents have now has a closet on the opposite side of the foyer, but not right by the door. In my apartment in Wisconsin, you have to walk across one end of the living room and into the hall to get to the nearest closet (or across the kitchen and into the hall if you come in the back). What all these places have in common is a lack of carpeting, so the floors are easy to clean.

Anyway, just keep a mat by the door for shoes and its all fine.
