Iranian Sandals
Iranian living spaces consist of different clean and unclean areas defined by social and religious cleanliness codes. To have access to the unclean areas, one needs a very necessary device: Dampayee (Sandals).
Shoes are often considered the footwear of the outside. For inside the house one needs to constantly switch different pairs of sandals to access various not-so-clean areas within the household: restroom, backyard, and sometimes kitchen are among the spaces that need their own sandals.

جالب اینجاست مواردی که همه روزه باهاش سروکار داریم و برامون عادی شده و برای خودمون هست، میتونه برای یک غیر ایرانی خیلی جالب و دیدنی بیاد. این احساسی بود که با این پست بهم دست داد.
