Culture...
Good day everyone,
This is our very first time blogging, so do excuse us if there are any unwanted errors.
Anyway, each and everyone of us had to write down our respective practiced cultures and then present it to the class. Not all manage to present, however, we did learn quite a bit about the other cultures we heard today.
Among them are such as the culture of the Indians ,not being able to marry more than once. This is somehow due to the legend of the Indian God being married to two different women that shares a same soul. What we're about to say right now is definitely something new to us after hearing that the Indians are not suppose to cut their hair on certain days. Pretty fascinating ha..
Next , the Chinese are suppose to keep the lights on during Chinese New Year. .(any waste of electricity?)
Nah, we're not too sure about the real story behind keeping the lights on all the time, but we're guessing it is to ward off evil? Is it? enlighten us if you know ,please.
One of the cultures we heard today, "You cannot point your index finger towards a full moon". Some said this is true, as there will be a slight cut on the back of your ear. The moon is believed to symbolize some form of gods. How true is this? Some of us choose not to believe in it. Oh well.
Another interesting culture we heard today was, most Malays eat with their hands as it is believed that the hands will produce some sort of enzymes that will help in our digestion. So people, lets try eating with our hands from now on. ; )
Any of the Group 3 members who wishes to add more details , information, etc into this blog, please do so.
