What are some interesting traditions from different cultures/nations that can be used creatively?

Question

It can be anything, the more bizarre, the better:)

Answer 1

use nothing bizarre, a tangent of conversation) how about the country with the least culture, or influence) cause i really do not know anything, they keep me uninformed and deformed, in the bronx, like the prisoner of the iron mask, the bronx has a pretty stupid culture, and underground culture, i being one of the unwilling participants, the civil service in the bronx is sort of bizarre, the local catholics engage in bizarre rites. and backwards day, woodlawn is filled with bizarre religiious sects all stemming from catholism , i want to run away again for the tenth time, they are always telling me No Bell, you have to experience it first hand, and i do not recommend that,

Answer 2

One cultural / religious tradition I find AMAZING is the Whirling Dervishes of Turkey...

'The Dervishes extend their arms, the right palm faces up and the left palm faces down. Energy from above enters through the right palm, passes through the body and passes through the left palm and into the Earth.'
