In my household and culture...(Jamaican - I think that the large influx of Asians to the Caribbean is the root to this practice there but yeah anyway..) ...it is a sign of respect. It's kind of like a way to show that you come in peace so to speak. Like that "mi casa es tu casa" (my house is your house) mentality. Taking off your shoes is another way of humbling yourself and acknowledging your host's home as sacred. I like the idea tbh and will continue to practice this. Every guest must take 'em off. |
