Answer 2

First of all, I'm from Malaysia =)

I'm a Chinese race. Some of my traditions are, we call to our parents and any elder relatives around by mentioning their names/statuses, before we eat our meals. We also show respect to parents by greeting them each time we go back home. We have an annual "Reunion Dinner" on the eve of Chinese New Year (CNY). The Reunion Dinner is to gather all family members and immediate relatives for a meal together. We give Ang Pows (money in red packets) during CNY.

Other traditions would include eating with rice bowls and chopsticks. We also hang lanterns around our homes, and decorate premises with red colors, for the Chinese believe red brings luck. The Chinese also celebrate the Moon Cake festival, where eat a Chinese delicacy known as "Moon Cakes". Most religions of Chinese origin believes in life after death. For the believers of those religions, they will pray to their ancestors and place a mini tombstone in their homes. But nowadays, the Chinese race will believe in many other religions of any origin. By the way, I'm a Christian.

Our food are most of the time plain white rice, eaten with tons of variety of dishes, from vegetables to meat, and so on. Chinese soups are also a very common tradition.

Hmm....there's really a lot more to tell, but I'll just stop here =)

i am from nigeria, west africa. our culture hinges mainly on respect for elders, in the way u address them, talk to them and relate with them. it is often said that an an elderly person never lies and is never wrong. of course this is not true but u are suppose to assume that first. u dont speak in the front of elders except u a spoken to or permitted. and befor u say a proverb u must first aknowledged that it is not from u but from the elders. our food is mainly starch, in bolus form and eaten with vegetable soup and some other soup. we eat a lot of cassava, yam, beans, corn. etc. rice is mainly for celebrations especially in the rural areas. i hope this is a bit enlightening. cheers

Answer 6

Hey Anna,

If we tell you everything about our cultures, then we can't remanin anonymous.

That's why I joined "Yahoo Answers".

I can answer questions by helping others, from the privacy of my home & yet my identity is unknown.

That's a great concept.
