-Men and women do not eat together. Men are not supposed to see women eating and vice versa. If you are seating at one table you out your chairs back to back so you do not see one another.
-You eat everything with your fingers and only the fingers of your right hand.
-You only use your right hand!!! For giving and receiving ANYTHING, especially money. If your hands are full you are to find a way, but you WILL NOT use your left hand. If you need to use both hands you use the top of your left hand, never flipping your hand over to use your palm!
-Personal bubbles do not exist. Your space is my space and your arms especially are free for anyone to touch!
-Nothing is off limits for putting in your mouth (especially until the age of about 13). Many, many people here would not be passed the oral phase according to Freudian Psychology.
-Everything is to be carried on your head (except children). This is to keep your hands free, you can carry more weight, and it keeps things more steady.
-Children are carried on the back. Women wrap clothe around themselves and the baby is secured (will have pictures when I return). This too keeps your hands free.
-Hitting children is acceptable. In school, discipline is achieved through using a stick to beat (this is the word they use, however it is to smack/hit) the children.
-Men and women are not to shown any public affection in public, this includes things as small as holding hands. However, it is quite common for people of the same gender to hold hands, it is a sign of great friendship and is more commonly seen among men.
-Love in general is not expressed through outward emotion or actions. At first it appears that children are not loved by there parents, but is seen here by how you provide and discipline your child.
There will be more to come, but I have not had a post in a while and needed to get something up :)
