Yeti has brought his mobile tablet with him so while he is waiting for the food he looks up traditions from different countries on Google. He thinks he might have found what Elsa is looking for.

‘We’ve all experienced culture shock once in our lives. When traveling to Egypt for example, we might be confused to find that a bride gets pinched by her friends before a wedding to bring good luck. Despite this, every tradition can teach us something valuable about the country and its culture. 

No toilet paper, India - Many travelers will be surprised to find that in India toilet paper is not commonly found in bathrooms. In fact, water from a small bucket found next to the toilet is used instead to wash up afterward. Using toilet paper is generally a bad idea, as it might clog the pipes and creates extra waste.

No using the bathroom after marriage, Indonesia - In the community of Tidong, in Indonesia, a married couple is not allowed to go to the bathroom for 3 days after being wed. If they do, it’s considered bad luck for their marriage. The newlyweds are watched over by their family members who ensure they don’t break this tradition, while given small amounts of food and water.

Greet others by spitting, Maasai - While spitting is considered rude in many cultures, in the Kenyan Maasai tribe it is the customary way of greeting and showing respect. Members of the tribe will spit into their hands before shaking them, and they also do this to newborn babies or even a bride to bless them and bring them good luck.

Don’t gift a yellow rose, Mexico - Roses are a great gift to show emotion just about anywhere in the world. However, when choosing a color, some countries relate special meanings to certain roses. In Mexico, it’s better to stick to a traditional red rose rather than a yellow rose, which means death in Mexican culture.

Smashing plates before a wedding, Germany - A few weeks before a German wedding, a tradition known as Polterabend takes place. The couple’s guests bring pottery which is smashed at the couple’s home. Afterward the bride and groom have to clean up the mess, an act which is believed to bring good luck and encourage teamwork for their upcoming marriage.’ (Source)
