Unfortunately for the girls in my classroom, there just isn't room for them to sit "correctly" when we are on the mats. Hmm, have to think about this one!<br /><br />I still cringe at shoes or feet on furniture, no matter what country I'm in! And I have to cover my footstool with a towel, otherwise it would be so grimy it wouldn't be worth having.<br /><br />Hang in there!KarenKTeachCambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18360213423837201954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-324860522351083573.post-11514322128568218182010-01-07T20:57:41.421+09:002010-01-07T20:57:41.421+09:00I don't think my knees or hips would cope with...I don't think my knees or hips would cope with the sitting on the floor neatly thing.<br /><br />It must be difficult suspended between two cultures, because it's often not that one way is any better than the other, it's just what is expected by a different set of rules.

I had no idea how rude I would be considered in Japan!Hippomanic Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12285378246081322317noreply@blogger.com
