Immigrating to Singapore to experience another barefoot culture

Do as Romans do in Rome. I know that Singapore has a so-called barefoot culture. The weather on the island is hot, and Singaporeans are famous for their love of cleanliness. Therefore, for Singaporeans born and raised, barefoot has long been a very common thing. However, if you immigrate to Singapore, you will get used to such a beautiful culture! Let's see if the new immigrants in Singapore can adapt to this habit and what they think!

Female immigrant: Keep warm. It is impolite to receive guests barefoot. Due to the differences of regional culture, the new immigrants from China have different views on "barefoot culture". Wang Yanhua is 30 years old. His hometown is Harbin in the north of China. In 2008, she and her husband came to a new job, and now she is the manager of China District of Hanban Southeast Asian Chinese Teaching Material Promotion Center. When she first came to Singapore, she was worried for a long time that she could not buy a pair of soft and comfortable slippers at home. Later, she had to ask a friend to bring some pairs back from China. "We northeast people pay great attention to keep warm. When I was a child, I was scolded by my elders for running on the ground without slippers. Especially for girls, be careful to catch cold under your feet. "

Male immigrants: "Do as the Romans do" simply don't wear Xia Junzhi and Ma Jie, two men who are also from China. They are completely different, and they don't care if they wear slippers at home. Ma Jie, a 28-year-old computer engineer, said that he had never worn slippers at home since he came to Singapore. Xia Junzhi, whose hometown is in Shenzhen, China, completely abandoned slippers after a period of adaptation. Xia Jun smiled and said, "I started to wear slippers. Later, when I saw that the landlord and some Singapore friends were barefoot at home, I simply stopped wearing them. This kind of' do as the Romans do' must have its scientific basis. "

Many China immigrants are not used to walking barefoot. It is difficult to buy comfortable slippers in Singapore at this time, so you can only buy them from China at this time, so it is not easy to do as the Romans do.
