RE: South East Asians (and expats) do flip-flops dominate your footwear?
another good point about where I currently live is if you are wearing shoes inside the house your footsteps tend to be louder for the people living below you and that's kind of rude isn't it?
I haven't lived in the "west" for many years but I wonder if people in USA are taking their shoes off at the door these days?
I don't know what it's like in the USA, but I have some friends/family in Germany, and there some people always wear shoes inside, and the same people get furious if they visit someone else and have to take off their shoes (as that is the habit in other homes). So, I guess you will find both this and that...
Ps: The thing about it being quieter actually makes sense as well in a house with thin walls :)
