May I drop in?
Sometimes I thought about the doors in English-American country houses and in Russians ones. In Russia a house (I mean a country house, or any 1-2 storeyed separate house) is supposed to have an antechamber, which is not 'a living place' but just 'a buffer zone' as it to say. In England and America many houses have the entrance door wich leads directly to the "living zone", and this looks quite strange to me (like being naked in an ordinary city street, not in nudist camp), althouh I know that this is a custom. That's why in foreign films "about Russia" you always can say that there's something wrong when some bad guys are breaking doors and going straight to the family sitting around dinner table or something like that.
