One thing I've learned very quickly is that in places where it is customary to remove ones shoes upon entering a house, school, or restaurant, it is important to wear respectable socks. This is something that I had been able to take for granted in the states, where one seldom removes his shoes. Even socks that I wouldn't have considered 'bad' before I now have to give a second look. Any discoloration or hole whatsoever is going to be a glaring faux pas and noticed immediately by others - ESPECIALLY elementary school kids who are, by virtue of their height, much closer to my feet than someone who is full-grown.
There's something quite nice about being able to walk around in socks or slippers, but I've exposed another part of my wardrobe for scrutiny and I'm not used to having to put my best foot forward, so to speak.
