In Chinese culture, you remove your shoes before coming into a house. Shoes are considered dirty because you track yucky stuff from the streets. Piles of shoes basically means that there are a lot of people in the houses. No shoes means that there are no people in the house. OK, gwai lo?

Are shoes outside the house the Chinese equivalent of dead cars in a redneck's yard? Ed Jew must be a wealthy, wealthy man.
