hehe I\'ve seen that!
my Godmother is from India, and she said in the narthex they would take off their shoes before entering the church... in that way I would see sitting on the floor as natural... maybe because living in Korea, anywhere where you take off your shoes (a home, a restaurant, a school) it\'s considered clean or ok to be on the floor... but anywhere where your shoes go is considered to be absolutely filthy and people wouldn\'t dare sit on the floor without a mat or a newspaper under them
so at St Nicholas cathedral in Seoul, if they didn\'t have pews, but allowed shoes, they\'d have a big newspaper cleanup problem, haha
