Shoes off, please.

How to inadvertently/purposefully signal to the world

1. You don't visit your Asian friends' homes or may not actually have Asian friends

2. You have no idea how to be sensitive to other cultures' practices

3. You think that as the guest, you don't need to be respectful of your host

I hope people steal your books, smoke in your house, and allow their pets to use your home as a toilet. Being a guest in someone's home is a privilege, not a right. And yes, I'm the type who brings my host/ess a gift.

Btw, I provide slippers for my friends when they visit, unless I feel like my floors are dirty at the moment, and I can always sweep and mop after they leave. 🫢🎐
