*Chinese foot binding *

Foot binding in ancient China is intensely painful and agonizing for Chinese women. They undergo this practice for elegant and beautiful looks. Young Chinese girl’s have their feet bound at age four and up. The practice is done by tying bandages tightly. Some herbal medicines and tea were used to soak their bounded feet. The soaking of their feet was done by their elderly relatives. Bandages are kept on and changed regularly until the desired sizes of 4 to 3 inches are acquired. Feet deformities resulted for years of doing this practice. Also, some of those Chinese women whose feet were bandaged, they have to survive infections and gangrene. Consequently, women who did not take part of this practice were considered disrespectful and were considered excluded from the society. In 1930’s this practice was banned in China, but in some areas, the tradition lives on.

*Melting Tins, Finland
*
On New Year’s Eve, the Finnish melt horseshoe tins in a metal ladle. As soon as the tin liquefies, they pour it on a bucket with ice-cold water. The random shapes that appear in the water is then interpreted. A round shape or ring shape means an wedding coming up in the following year. An animal shape is considered prosperity. And a ship shape means travel or journey.

Masai spitting

The Masai tribe, located in Kenya and Tanzania, greet each other by spitting. When greeting elders, a tribesman must spit in his hand before offering a handshake, thus showing respect. The men spit on newborns, telling them that they are bad. It is believed that if a baby is praised, it will be cursed with a bad life.

A friend of mine, who went for Hajj this year told me that some Arabs have this habit of spitting and thoo thoo especially when they mention something / someone they hate. He was telling me hatred of Shia Muslims in some Arabs

Do Hindu people hang copy of Geeta over bride's head? What about ' Jo bhi kahoon ga sach kahoong' ceremony in courts by putting hand on Geeta / Quran?
