1. Going barefoot outside
If you've ever travelled in Asia you'll probably be aware that in many Asian cultures it is customary to take off one's shoes upon entering a house, guesthouse or restaurant. After 7 months this habit has become almost automatic now and its an easy one to remember... most of the time. If you do happen to forget, don't worry - your kids will probably remind you before you're even through the door. Quite frankly, the streets in Asia are generally grotty so its just good sense not to track all that dirt and grime inside. But did you know that many Asians also believe that taking off your shoes is just good health practice, as being barefoot allows the reflexology pressure points in your feet to be stimulated.
