I never noticed the doors, but I suppose the explanation could be as practical as the shoes being squashed since in both countries, people remove their shoes when entering someone's home. The reasons to this, then, could be buried deeper in the two cultures :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781197534505430160.post-41846190171392574662009-06-02T07:06:37.932+09:002009-06-02T07:06:37.932+09:00I will certainly notice it now...I made it my new ...I will certainly notice it now...I made it my new hobby to look at how doors open everywhere I go now.Baron's Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05363887015251189502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6781197534505430160.post-35599367367034381682009-05-31T11:11:49.533+09:002009-05-31T11:11:49.533+09:00HELLO BREE,

I guess you have double doors in Finland because of the cold weather? Would the house door still open inwards if it was a single door(if there are any single front doors exist...)

I am going to keep my eye out. I think that perhaps here (UK) that any doors that are fire escapes would open outwards? Like perhaps the doors to a business or apartments?
