Strange Customs Around The World That Are Still In 2021

There are many strange customs performed by people all over the world. Some may jump from a distance of 100 feet or be bitten by ants to show they are growing. Some are covered with cinnamon or pepper as unfortunate adults in love. Men jumped on the children and women threw themselves into the buildings to protect their souls from harm. Others throw tomatoes or oranges in the streets to honor the gods or to imitate a myth.

Some even feast on monkeys or bury a fake sardine symbolizing death. Let’s talk about some of the weird things people do in this episode of Info graphics Show, Strange Customs Around the World. In the transitions between child and adult most feel a few growing pains along the way. But these are nothing compared to what is common for some young boys in the Amazon to go through. First, they must find the ants and wrap them in a pair of gloves. Then they applied these 20 different times, dancing as they were repeatedly bitten by ants. Ants from ants are described as 30 times worse than bee stings and gloves. Once they have done this successfully, they can consider themselves a man. Another kind of extreme exploration is expected for boys on the island of Vanuatuan. They have to show their strength to overcome fear through a practice called land diving.

This requires climbing a 100-foot [100 m] wooden tower and jumping off the ground, fleeing from certain deaths just because of the vineyards tied at the ankles. In Indonesia, young people of both sexes who participate in their unique culture in the transition from wild children to human beings have been viewed as fully human. It requires that their canine teeth be ground to the ground. This is done without any kind of pain relief and they are expected to live peacefully without noise. It is believed that smooth teeth will prevent them from reaching heaven as they will be considered wild animals. Of course, in time children grow up to become adults, and many adults will seek love. Be careful if you are unlucky in this area and remain single in Denmark. In some places the custom is to go up to the unmarried man on his 25th birthday and throw his cinnamon sticks over him. If you think this is bad, just wait until you are married before you are 30 years old. That's where you're going to be filled with hot peppers. Germany has its own unique culture in this area, too. When unmarried German men are in their 30s in Bremen, they should sweep the steps of the cathedral in organ music until the girl feels sorry for them and kisses them. But do not think that those who find love are obvious. A woman who used to be a very popular custom but used by the Tutsi Chinese people, she has to cry for a month before her wedding day.

When it gets dark, he will walk and cry for an hour every night. Ten days later his mother will come in and cry with him. However ten days later her grandmother will start crying, too. If the bride has a sister or an aunt, guess what, they should also follow. This is intended to make the wedding day seem more enjoyable in comparison. In Germany, it is customary to have a Polterabend party a few weeks before the wedding. During this time guests emerge and break off a pile of porcelain and other pottery. It is up to the future husband and wife to clean up the mess. This can last all night, with guests continuing to smash cups, plates, and dishes after the couple has just cleaned everything up. It is believed that this will prepare the couple for the crisis that will eventually throw them into it. In Scotland there is a similar evil culture known as Blackening. That is when the future bride and groom are amazed, bound, and black. In other words, they are covered with flour, custards, dirt, or helper to make them as dirty as possible. After a shower or two, it is believed that they will have more luck.

In Greece when a couple actually get married those present will spit. They will not really beat the bride and groom, for although they seem to be doing so, they are really figurative. Performing vocal and audible movements is thought to protect against evil spirits. Strange as it may seem, Indonesia indulges in a more sophisticated, uncomfortable ritual of marriage. The newlyweds are kept in a room for three days and three nights and are not allowed to use the bathroom and are monitored to make sure they are not cheating. When this period is over, they bathe, and begin a normal married life. Unusual traditions continue throughout the world regarding pregnancy and family. In China, for example, a pregnant woman's partner is expected to carry her on hot coals. Although it is painful for the carrier, it will ensure that the future mother has a fun and quick job. Then, after birth, cultures have a different way of celebrating birth and providing newborn protection. In Spain during the El Colacho festival, children are dressed in street clothes. Men dressed in red and yellow devils run wild men dressed in black. Men then jump on children, which is meant to protect them from sin and disease.

Although it is not really safe, in India they take it to a completely different level of extreme. A few Hindu and Muslim parents who seek the spiritual protection of their children will throw their children to the top of a 50-foot [50 m] building. If everything goes according to plan, the kids are caught on the sheet below. While some cultures may be awkward or intimidating, others may be more subtle, although they may also be slightly distorted. An example of this is La Tomatina, also known as World's Biggest Food Fight. This happened on the last Wednesday of August in the Spanish city of Bunol. Thousands flock to the event from all over the world. However, due to limited space, only 20,000 people could enter. These lucky few were given more than a hundred tons of overripe tomatoes to throw on the streets. Believe it or not, even though it's only an hour, LaTomatina does damage and requires fire trucks to clean it afterwards. While some believe that La Tomatina originated as the rise of a small food war, the throwing of tomatoes during an exhibition, or the response to a talented artist's play, its origins are unclear. Its purpose, on the other hand, is to. 

The event is in honor of Luis Bertran and the Virgin Mary, the saints of Bunol. The Battle of Oranges in Italy is a tradition based on a very hot event. It is intended to illustrate a fairy tale about a fearsome marquis who tried to rape a woman instead of cutting off her head. After his death, the people of the city rioted and stormed his castle. This revolt is symbolized by three days of citrus-based fighting. It starts with the appointment of one woman who pretends to be the one who killed the marquis. Nine groups were formed to represent both the common people and the royal family. Well-dressed in their battlefield, they fought on the streets of Ivrea set aside as a temporary battlefield. Every three days before the start of Fat Tuesday, everyone, man, woman, or child throws oranges at competing teams and kills them figuratively when they touch each other. Although orange airborne does not sound like such a threat, it is not uncommon for many to have bruises, cuts, and other wounds. Not as big as La Tomatina, Battle of the Oranges is Italy's largest food war. More than 500,000 fruits are used and the pulp connects people and roads. Although many in La Tomatina and The Battle of Oranges find themselves running on flying food, the English are moving in a different way in the tradition of Cooper's Hill. The Cooper Hill Cheese Roll Competition is an annual event of its kind. It requires participants to slide down the hill to hold the cheese wheel. However, like the orange warfare, the event has its share of dangers. Chris Anderson, the man who set a new record by hitting 22 cheeses in 14 years, recently ripped off his left calf in the 2018 tournament.

Not surprisingly, people get hurt when the speed of the cheese reaches 70 miles per hour. And, on top of that, the competition itself is very intense. Anderson had to chase after another participant wearing a Speedo-like boot with boots in order to give himself the benefit of near-naked aerodynamics. But why should it be that people have all the fun full of food? Attractive culture in Lopburi, Thailand includes monkeys on the road. In this part of the world, the monkey is revered as the offspring of a courageous Hindu goddess who rescued a woman from a demon. As a reward they received a feast on November 25 of each year. This includes 4,000 pounds [4,000 kg] of foods, such as watermelons, pineapples, and bananas. Monkeys are free to eat from these foods while taking soda to drink. While some cultures enjoy a tasty and sugary meal, in some places they offer something different. An example of this is Hakal, a specialty cuisine prepared in Iceland. It is made from pieces of Greenland shark that has been out of sight for six months. The reason for this is because the shark does not have a urinary tract so its contamination rises to the levels of toxins in its meat. Other potentially dangerous treatments are used in parts of Southeast Asia. 

It is made from the fragrant pangium fruit with the deadly amounts of hydrogen cyanide. After the shell is removed it should be boiled and fermented on the leaves for a whole month. If this process is not followed correctly, a little taste of the fruit will be your last. When a person dies, death and burial rituals are also puzzling. The Yanomami have a tradition when they take the body of the deceased and burn it. While there is nothing unusual about this first step, it becomes very strange very quickly. After the corpses were burned, they turned black with ashes. After this, they collect any remaining bones and turn them into powder and mix them with bananas. This makes a kind of banana soup and everyone eats it together. To the people of Yanomami this is the only known way that mortal man can attain eternal peace. In Madagascar, they have the rare practice of dying after death. They remove the remains of their ancestors every five to seven years and replace their old clothes with new ones. Then, a stranger, those of the Merina tribe danced with the corpses dressed. At the end of the day they were returned to the tomb looking down until the process was repeated five to seven years later. Although no one was killed, at the end of the festival, the Spaniards joined in the symbolic mourning. This should mark the end of the festivals and the beginning of Lent. On Ash Wednesday a procession known as the Sardis Burial marches through the streets carrying a large fake fish. They traveled through Madrid until they reached the burial ground and this time they buried the garden.
