Ok... listen to this one...
I don't know if you have anyting similar in your countries, but in Greek weddings, after the couple gets married, in the party, everyone goes and "sticks" Euros to the bride, when she is dancing...

Really haris? That is quite similar to the customs at Philippines. In Norwegian too, but the bride had to wore the small teasthingy around the gown and dance, so the chiming sounds made from the tingling sthingys would scare away the devil from her marriage.

I am back again from the hospital! Though I am still alived! LOL. Heres one of my country: precisely on Sunday 8th April, like most of Christian countries, we're going to celebrate Easter in France. Apart from the religious view, we've got a funny tradition in France : bells ring in the sky, announcing Easter and they bring chocolate and sugar eggs, chicken and so on. So I was like: WHOA>>> Everytime!

There are a lot of customs and traditions here in Peru due to the Inca empire, that was "conquered" by Spaniards on 1532.

This is a typical dress that women in rural areas of Peru, that still carry on the traditions of the Quechuas use:

haha, that's pretty interesting.
Well, for us in Eid when you go greeting people. Usually it's ur extended family. But also family friends and so it's a custom to give children money. Like doesn't matter how much what matters is that you give them money.
At the end of the day you get loads. Well, I mean when you're a kid any kind of money is alot :P unfortuantely we're too old to do that, so we just get money from dad. :)

Do what ever that may lead you to your goal. Because it is your goal, then you must realize that it is within your power to achieve it. It is so close to coming true and you know it deep within. Wait for none and explain to none why or what! Just break free from this life and its barriers! The beautiful sun shine is there, you just have to see it. Look closely.....
