Strange Traditions


Yesterday’s class started out very boring.  We took a test on the movie God Grew Tired of Us.  It was fairly easy, especially since we got to use the notes on our blogs.  After everybody handed in their tests, we had to go online and look up unusual cultures.  One group found a video that showed people in India throwing babies off of a tower and onto a mat.  Another culture has camel wrestling.  In Germany, people smash dishes, toilets, and other ceramics and then make the bride and groom clean everything up to show that they will be able to work together.  The people in Spain have a very amusing Christmas tradition.  In their nativity scenes, they hide figurines of people defecating for their friends and families to try to find.  Another tradition in Spain is called the Day of Geese.  The man that rips the head of the goose gets to keep the goose and win a woman.
