The Most Weird Wedding Traditions In The World

1. Blackening Of The Bride

This is the typical premarital humiliation that Scottish brides endures in certain parts of the country.


2. A Salty Wedding Song

Although weddings are usually accompanied by tears, brides, and females of the Tujia people in China take matters to a whole new level. Starting one whole month in advance the bride starts to cry for one hour everyday. 10 days into the ordeal the mom joins the picture, and then 10 days later the grandmother does the same. By the end of the month every female in the family is crying alongside the bride.


3. Save The Date

There is a group of people called the Daur that live in Chinese Inner Mongolia. In order to finalize the wedding date the bride and groom are required to kill a baby chick while holding the knife together. Then they proceed to gut the chick and inspect it's liver. If the liver looks good, then they are allowed to set a date. If not, then they have to repeat the process until they find a satisfactory liver.


4. Trees?

In India, women born as Mangliks (an astrological combination when Mars and Saturn are both under 7th house) are thought to be cursed and likely to cause their husband an early death. In order to ward of this curse, they must be married first...to a tree. The tree is then destroyed and the curse is broken. Poor tree.


5. Hold It In

For tribes of the Tidong community in Northern Borneo newly married couples are required to be confined to their house while not emptying their bowels or urinating for three days and nights.

The Most Weird Cultures In The World

1. Man Down Russian Drinking Game

In Russia, it's a traditional drinking game for men together and prepare a bottle of vodka for every 3 men. They drink until one falls, or passes out, and refusing to drink is considered an insult to those participating.


2. Carrying Pregnant Women Over Call

According to Chinese customs, a husband should carry his bride over a pan of burning coals when entering their home for the first time. This myth has been performed to ensure she will have an easy, successful labor. This is where you insert a joke about man finally understanding the pain of childbirth, or something.


3. Living With The Dead

It's common practice in Indonesia for families to wrap the deceased up in special garbs and keep it in the house. It's thought that in doing so, the loved one's soul will be preserved until burial.


4. Indonesian Walking Dead

Funerals can be both pricey and intricate ceremonies and in Torajah the afterlife is an important part of their religous beliefs. When families can't afford an initial proper burial, a body is placed in a temporary coffin. When funding is in order, the corpse is literally Raised From The Dead and 'walks' to it's new resting place.


5. Kidnap The Bride

This is as illegal as it sounds. The Romani (gypsies) have carried out this insanely criminal wedding tradition for centuries. It basically entails if a person can successfully kidnap and keep hostage a girl and get her to stay for 3 - 5 days, you guys can become the most dysfunctional stockholmie couple ever.

The Most Weird Food In The World

1. Balut, a developed duck embryo boiled alive and eaten in its egg. Really common  in Southeast Asia and also often served with beer. The ideal balut is 17 days in the Philippines, but Vietnamese people prefer the 19-21 days old ones.


2. Casu Marzu, (means rotten cheese) a traditional sheep milk cheese from Sardinia, Italy. The cheese makers set the cheese outside and allow cheese flies to lay eggs inside of it. The larvae are breaking down of the cheese's fats and fermenting it.

4. Smalahove, also called Skjelte, a traditional smoke or dried Norwegian dish made from a sheep's head. Originally, it was eaten by the poor only.

The Most Weird Laws In The World

1. Did you know that it is illegal to wear a bulletproof vest while committing a murder in New Jersey? Isn't murder already illegal? If the murderer wear the bulletproof vest, that was even more illegal.


2. Did you know that beer and pretzels can't be served at the same time in any bar or restaurant in North Dakota? Actually I'm not really know why this law made sense to anybody ever, or maybe North Dakota pretzels are just too good to be spoiled by intoxication.


3. Did you know that you guys may not take a picture of a rabbit during the month of June in Wyoming? Maybe June is the suitable month for the rabbits to take a break.



4. Did you know that it is illegal for a man to give his sweetheart a box of candy that weighing more than 50lbs in Idaho? But logically, which man are willing to give more than 50lbs of candy just for his sweetheart?


5. Did you know that flushing the toilet after 10pm where the person lives in an apartment is illegal in Sweeden? My guess is that there are a lot of law breakers in this country.

This 914 square - foot transparent house was inspired by our ancient predecessors who inhabited trees. While so - called "House NA" offers plenty of daylight, expect no privacy here. "The intriguing point of a tree is that these places are not hermetically isolated but are connected to one another in its unique relativity. To hear one's voice from across and above, hopping over to another branch, a discussion taking place across branches by members from seperate brnaches. These are some of the moments of richness encountered through such spatially dense living" says Sou Fujimoto.
