Many Americans may be accustomed to coming home from a long day of work and crashing on the couch before taking off their outdoor shoes. But in many countries around the world, including Germany, this common American habit can be considered very rude<\/a>. Sure, there are several customs to keep in mind when visiting Germany, like recycling the clear and colored glass bottles separately from each other\u00a0and refraining from jaywalking, but it is especially important to remove your shoes before entering someone’s home in Germany.<\/p>\n
