Shoes

Full disclosure

The synagogue in Kochi was the first synagogue ever where I had to take off my shoes. Men weren’t obliged to wear a yarmulke either, but besides this and the abundance of lamps – the synagogue looked liked a lamp store – the synagogue was still recognizable as a shul.
In a church in this city they made me take off my shoes as well.
Full disclosure: In another church in Kochi I could keep my shoes on.
On the other hand the two men who gave me a massage this afternoon made me take off everything and then started touching my private parts.
I didn’t mind, because it was fairly hot this afternoon.

Did you visit the 'Jew shop' and if you did, how did it look?

Which part of their body did the massage men touch your private parts with?

It sounds like you take good care of yourself; both spiritual and physical care on the same day.

I think Arnon will be a totaly difrent man after these experiances .
A sportsman and a man who likes to be touched by man.

I assume that Arnon's private parts were touched in passing.

Arnon,
did one of the two men point a gun at you while you had to take of your clothes?
Or were you just surprised that it wasn't a sportmassage?

They were only probing if you should become a Hijra.

Malta
In a church in/on Malta I also had to take of my shoes, because the doorbitch thought that my heels would be harmful to the floor. They were made of rubber and so soft that you could give a Thai massage using them, without doing any harm to the flesh.

Once, a couple of years ago my shoes were stolen in a asian restaurant. The manager gave me an amount of money to compensate this, but it wasn't enough to buy a pair of tennis-shoes. Sad..
