Tiffi looks on her phone and types in traditions across the countries and she thinks that she found something to go along with what Yeti found.

‘Throwing cinnamon on single people, Denmark – this old tradition from 16th century Denmark still persists today. If a person remains single on their birthday, their friends will shower them with cinnamon. The tradition is a reference to the Danish spice merchants who often had no time for marriage due to their travels around the continent.

Arrive late, Venezuela - Whether you’re attending an event, a meeting, or a party in Venezuela, it’s common for people to arrive later than originally planned. Venezuelans enjoy a relaxed pace when it comes to business, and for big social events arriving late simply means making a big entrance.

Don’t clink glasses before drinking, Hungary - When visiting Hungary, one might be surprised to find out that people don’t clink glasses at the bar. This historical tradition comes from 1848, when Austria defeated the Hungarian revolution and celebrated by clinking glasses. As a result, Hungarians decided not to clink glasses for 150 years.

Getting bitten by bullet ants, Brazil - In the Brazilian tribe of Sateré-Mawé, when a boy comes of age he must perform a traditional dance while wearing gloves filled with bullet ants. This ceremony is a particularly challenging one, as the bite of a bullet ant is one of the most painful insect bites in the world.

Bungee jumping for a good harvest, Vanuatu - On the Pentecost Island of Vanuatu, a ritual performed by men is said to ensure a good harvest. By jumping off tall wooden towers with nothing but vines wrapped around their ankles, they believe a good land dive can improve a man’s physical health and bring good luck during the yam harvest season.’ (Source
