*Some* (not all) classes of Austrian absolutely insist that your shoes  
be clean before you enter the house.  The reason this is weird is  
because you take your shoes off inside the house anyway, in a little  
"fore-room" designed for the purpose - but the difference between a  
"BoBo" (Bohemian Bourgeouis) and a non-BoBo is whether your shoes are  
clean enough to wear, even so ..

Believe me, there are times I wish I was BoBo.

But the funny thing is, some Austrians can climb a mountain and still  
have clean shoes.
