Shoes in fron of a Teahouse


Context of the observation

Before entering the specific room of “cha dao” (ceremony), people pull off their shoes. People have to do this, because the room is spaced with soft carpet. Tables are low and you cannot find chairs to sit on, so that people
have to kneel down.

Location

Taipei
Taiwan

 

1 Interpretation

Participants seem relaxed in this room, because they sit down in a freely way and sometimes even lay down while doing ‘cha dao’.
